    I applied last November, got turned down, and lodged an appeal and a review in March. I have the correct total amount of contributions but I think I actually didn’t have the required amount for the year previous to applying in November. I definitely have them since January this year but am expecting to have to start a new application eventually. I got a letter this morning asking for bank statements for the other members of the household to conduct a means test for fuel allowance. Does this mean I should have a definite answer soon?

    Hard to know Whiplashy.

    "48 weeks of paid or credited PRSI contributions in the last or second last completed year before the start date of your permanent incapacity for work."

    I'd ring them. These things can be so confusing and stressful. Just ring for an update on your appeal/review - you sound like you've been waiting an awfully long time.

    I’ve tried ringing them and asking them but just got told they couldn’t tell me anything. It’s so frustrating because I have been waiting ages and I’m almost certain I’ll have to reapply. At least I have all my medical evidence in place for the next time I suppose.
