The payment of disabled persons maintenance allowance in any individual case is a matter for determination by the health board concerned having regard to all the relevant circumstances in that case.
I have made enquiries of the Southern Health Board in this case and have been informed that the board is at present considering an appeal by the applicant. A decision on the appeal will be made very shortly.
