An application for domiciliary care allowance was received from the person concerned on 5th January 2012. This application was referred to one of the Department's Medical Assessors who found that the child was not medically eligible for the allowance. A letter issued on 27th March 2012 advising the person concerned of the decision. She subsequently lodged an appeal against this decision and supplied additional information on her child's condition. As part of the appeal process, her application along with the extra information she provided, was reviewed by a second Medical Assessor who found the child to be medically eligible for the allowance. The person concerned was notified of the decision on 11th June 2012 and payment will issue shortly.
