disallowance
Denial of permission
Disallowance is the act of refusing to permit or approve something, or the state of having been rejected.
It appears most often in legal, regulatory, and administrative contexts where an authority denies a claim, deduction, or request.
The IRS issued a disallowance of several itemized deductions.
In insurance, a disallowance means the company has declined to cover a particular expense or procedure.
