Written answers

This application was originally refused on medical grounds on 7th December 2011. The decision was then appealed and, following consideration of all the available evidence, an appeals officer has made a determination in this case to disallow the appeal. Accordingly, the decision to refuse carer’s allowance stands. A letter issued from the Social Welfare Appeals Office to the person in question on 17th September 2012 with all the relevant details.
