An Appeals Officer has decided that the person concerned is not entitled to invalidity pension as the statutory contribution conditions for this pension are not fulfilled. The person concerned was informed of this decision by letter dated 30th January, 2007. Under Social Welfare legislation the decision of the Appeals Officer is final and conclusive and may only be revised:
(a) in the light of some error having been made as to the law or the facts, or
(b) in the event of new evidence having been submitted which would warrant a revision of the decision.
The person concerned does, however, continue to be entitled to disability allowance at the maximum personal rate.
