CaseChat Overview and Summary
In *Ergun and Secretary, Department of Social Services (Social services second review)*, the Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered an appeal by Mr Ergun against the Secretary's decision to refuse his claim for Disability Support Pension (DSP).
The Tribunal was required to determine whether Mr Ergun had a continuing inability to work, as defined by section 94(1)(c) of the relevant social security legislation. This involved assessing whether his medical conditions prevented him from working in any capacity.
The Tribunal's reasoning focused on the evidence presented regarding Mr Ergun's capacity to work. It concluded that, based on the available information, Mr Ergun did not satisfy the criteria for a continuing inability to work. Consequently, the Tribunal affirmed the Secretary's decision to refuse the DSP claim.
