The person concerned was paid disability benefit to 30 January 1988 after which date payment was disallowed following an examination by a medical referee who expressed the opinion that he was capable of work. He appealed against the disallowance and he was examined again on 2 May 1988 by a different medical referee who also expressed the opinion that he was capable of work. His appeal has now been referred to an appeals officer for a determination. The appeals officer proposes to hold an oral hearing of his case and the person concerned will be notified when the final arrangements have been completed.
