The person concerned submitted an application for disability allowance (DA) on 31 January 2022.  Their application, based upon all the evidence submitted, was refused as they were deemed to have means in excess of the statutory limit for their circumstances. The person concerned was notified in writing of this decision on 23 February 2022.

Further information was received and a review of this decision was carried out.  The original decision was upheld and the person concerned was notified in writing on 12 March 2022.  

They were also notified of their right to request a further review of this decision or to appeal it to the independent social welfare appeals office (SWAO). No request for an appeal or a review has been received.  

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
