The person concerned was refused carer's allowance on the grounds that the Department's Medical Assessor expressed the opinion that the care recipient is not so disabled as to require full time care and attention as prescribed in regulations.
On 8 February 2012, he was notified of this decision and of his right of review and/or appeal to the Chief Appeal's Officer within 21 days.
Additional medical evidence has been received and forwarded to the Medical Assessor for further consideration. He will be notified directly of the outcome of the review in due course.
