Comment on this
The person concerned claimed disability benefit from 11 August 1980 and has been paid all disability benefit and pay-related benefit due to 25 February 1981, the date of the latest medical evidence received.
Payment of benefit is made on receipt of medical evidence. Since December 1980 the medical certificates submitted by him have been received at irregular intervals. In the circumstances it was not possible to maintain regular payment of benefit to him.
