79 Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Social Protection the outcome of a medical review of a domiciliary care allowance application in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Donegal; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30164/12]
View answerAn application for domiciliary care allowance was received from the person concerned in September 2011. 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 the 15th November 2011 advising the person concerned of the decision. She subsequently requested a review of this decision and supplied additional information on her child's condition. 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 the 13th June 2012 and payment will issue shortly.
