The Court held the memorandum of 14 January 1993 could constitute a written application recording the appellant's oral request, but the appellant failed to make the distinct written election required by s147(2) to choose lump sum compensation over an independence allowance; therefore the statutory election requirement was not satisfied and the appeal is dismissed.
