Written answers

I can confirm that the Department received an application for Carer's Allowance from the person in question on 16th November 2011. This application was disallowed on 4th October 2012 and a letter issued to the client notifying them of this. Additional medical evidence dated 12th October 2012 has been received and awaiting review by the Department's Chief Medical Advisor and this will be done as a matter of urgency. Once completed, the person in question will be notified directly of the outcome.
