View answerThe application for disability allowance (DA) from the person in question was disallowed on 10 November 2015 by a deciding officer (DO). The grounds for the disallowance were, based upon the evidence provided, that he does not satisfy the medical conditions for the scheme.
The person in question was notified of this decision, the reason(s) for it and was advised of his rights to have the decision reviewed by a DO, with or without the submission of additional evidence, or to lodge an appeal with the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office.
