An application for disability allowance (DA) from this gentleman was received on 2 November 2017.
Further medical evidence was received from this gentleman’s mother on 20 November 2017 and on 7 December 2017. This is currently being reviewed by a deciding officer. On completion of the necessary investigations on all aspects of the claim a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
The processing time for individual disability allowance claims may vary in accordance with their relative complexity in terms of the three main qualifying criteria, the person’s circumstances and the information they provide in support of their claim.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
