The person in question appealed to the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office (SWAO) a decision by a deciding officer to disallow her application for disability allowance (DA).
Following due consideration, the appeal of the person in question was disallowed by an appeals officer (AO) on 22 December 2015. She was notified of this decision in writing by the SWAO on the same date.
An AO’s decision is final and conclusive in absence of any fresh facts or evidence.
