Written answers

As part of the appeals process, the department referred all the medical evidence received to a second medical assessor for review. The medical assessor was of the opinion, based on all the information supplied, that the person concerned was not medically suitable for disability allowance. The person’s appeal has now been referred to the Social Welfare Appeals Office for determination.
