Williams and Secretary, Department of Social Services (Social services second review)

This matter concerned an appeal by the applicant, Mr Williams, against a decision by the Secretary of the Department of Social Services to reject his claim for a disability support pension. The review was heard by K Millar SM.

The primary legal issues before the Tribunal were whether Mr Williams' medical conditions were fully diagnosed, treated, and stabilised during the relevant qualification period, whether these conditions attracted an impairment rating of at least 20 points under the Impairment Tables, and whether he had a continuing inability to work.

The Tribunal affirmed the decision under review, finding that Mr Williams did not qualify for a disability support pension. The reasoning for this conclusion, which is not detailed in the provided text, led to the finding that he did not meet the necessary criteria for the pension.
