Based on the evidence supplied in support of this person’s application, his application for disability allowance (DA) was disallowed on the grounds that the medical qualifying condition was not satisfied. They were notified in writing of this decision on 30 April 2018.
They requested a review of the decision by a deciding officer (DO) and supplied further medical evidence on the 18 October 2018. A review of this decision was carried out and they have been awarded disability allowance with effect from 3 January 2018.
The first payment will be made on 28 November 2018. Arrears of payment due have been calculated and issued to this gentleman on 22 November 2018.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
