View answerAn application for domiciliary care allowance (DCA) was received on the 2nd July 2012. This application was referred to one of the Department’s Medical Assessors who found that the child was not medically eligible for DCA. A letter issued on the 20th August 2012 advising of the decision not to allow the application.
The person concerned supplied further information and the case has been forwarded to another of the Department’s Medical Assessors for further consideration, including a review of the new information supplied. Upon receipt of the Medical Assessor’s opinion, the application will be further reviewed and the person concerned will be notified of the position.
