An application for carer’s allowance was received from the person concerned on the 22nd of July 2011. The application was referred to one of the Department’s medical assessors who found that the caree in question was not medically eligible for carer’s allowance. A letter issued on the 25th of August 2012 refusing the allowance. The person in question submitted further medical evidence on 4th of September 2012 for review. This medical evidence is awaiting medical assessment by a medical assessor. On completion of all the necessary investigations as part of this review, a decision will be made and the person in question will be contacted directly with the outcome.
