Based on the evidence supplied in support of this person’s application, her application for disability allowance (DA) was disallowed on the grounds that the medical qualifying condition was not satisfied. The person in question was notified in writing of this decision on 31 October 2018.

They requested a review of the decision by a deciding officer (DO) and submitted additional medical evidence for consideration on 13 November 2018.

On 6 February 2019 they were asked to supply supporting documentation required by the deciding officer in order to make a decision on her eligibility. On receipt of this information a decision will be made and she will be notified of the outcome.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
