The person concerned submitted an application for disability allowance (DA) on 6 September 2017. Their application, based upon all the evidence submitted, was refused on medical grounds as it was not found that this gentleman was substantially restricted in taking up employment.
The person concerned was notified in writing of this decision on 30 November 2017 and was also notified of their right to request a review of this decision or to appeal it to the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office (SWAO).
To date no request for an appeal or review has been received from this gentleman.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the deputy.
