I am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that, an Appeals Officer, having considered all the available evidence, including that adduced at an oral hearing, disallowed the disability allowance appeal of the person concerned.
Following the submission of additional medical evidence the case has been forwarded to the Chief Medical Advisor for his opinion. On receipt of his response the case will be referred back to the Appeals Officer for further consideration. The Deputy will be notified of the result of the Appeals Officer's review.
