The person concerned applied for disability allowance on 13 September 2004. The principal conditions for receipt of the allowance are that the medical eligibility criteria are met and that the means test which applies is satisfied.
While she satisfies the medical criteria for receipt of disability allowance, her means have yet to be established. In this regard, her case was sent to an investigative officer of the Department on 20 September for a means test to be undertaken.
Her entitlement to disability allowance will be further considered in light of the inspector's report and a formal decision will be issued to her directly.
