Help settle an argument about DA/MDA

I have a colleague who believes that the number in brackets after DA on a Jeppesen approach plate is the ACTUAL rad alt reading at DA/MDA. I say it is the height above the runway reference (i.e. QFE equivalent).

I say you cannot use Rad Height as a guide to DA on a Cat 1 ILS. He says you can.

Who is right?
