Vol. 408 No. 4
106 Mr. O'Leary asked the Minister for Social Welfare when disability benefit will be granted on an appeal to a person (details supplied) in County Kerry in view of the fact that his doctor will not allow him to work under any circumstances; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
It was decided in mid-December 1990 that the person concerned was not incapable of work and, therefore, not entitled to disability benefit. This decision was made following an examination by a medical referee.
Following an appeal, the person was seen by a different medical referee on 25 February 1991. The second medical referee also expressed the view that the person concerned is capable of work.
