Written answers
I confirm that the department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person in question on the 1st December 2011. This application was referred to one of the Department’s medical assessors who was of the opinion that the caree in question was not medically eligible for carer’s allowance. A letter issued on the 1st of October 2012 refusing the allowance and informing her of the reasons for it and of her right of review or appeal. No further correspondence has been received from the person in question.
