The person concerned applied for disability allowance on 1 August 2012. The application, based upon the evidence submitted, was refused on medical grounds and the person was notified in writing of this decision on 13 September 2012.
The person subsequently appealed this decision to the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office and submitted further evidence in support of their application.
As part of the appeals process, the deciding officer reviewed the original decision in the light of the additional information and decided that the person was medically suitable for disability allowance. The appeal has, accordingly, been withdrawn.
A means test is now being completed and a final decision on her application will be made in due course and the person will be notified in writing of the outcome.
