The person concerned applied for disability allowance on 19 October 2009. His claim was assessed by a medical assessor who was of the opinion that he was not medically suitable for disability allowance. The deciding officer accepted that medical opinion and refused his claim. A letter issued to the person on 8 January 2010 advising him of this decision.
I understand an appeal was opened in this case by the Social Welfare Appeals Office who asked the person to submit further medical details in support of the appeal. I further understand that the person did not reply to this request and that, consequently, his appeal was withdrawn by the Social Welfare Appeals Office on the 6 July 2010.
