Written answers

This application was disallowed on 24 August 2012 on medical grounds, based upon the evidence supplied in support of the application. A letter issued on that date notifying her of this decision, the reasons for it and of her right of review or appeal. If the person in question has additional evidence in support of her claim, they should submit it to the department with a request for a review. Alternatively, she may appeal the decision in writing directly to the Social Welfare Appeals Office clearly stating the grounds for appeal.
