This gentleman submitted an application for disability allowance (DA) on 2 August 2019.
The application, based upon the evidence submitted, was refused on medical grounds and this gentleman was notified in writing of this decision on 17 October 2019. He was also notified of the reason for it and of the option to submit further medical evidence in support of his application for review and of his right to appeal the decision to the Social Welfare Appeals Office (SWAO).
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
