Written answers
I confirm that the department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person in question on the 12th December 2012. This application was referred to one of the Department’s medical assessors who was of the opinion that the caree was not medically eligible for carer’s allowance. The person in question was also working in excess of 15 hours per week. Therefore the application was disallowed, and the person concerned was notified of this decision on 13th of March 2013, the reasons for it and of her right of review or appeal.
