As detailed to you in my response of 16 May 2013 (PQ ref. 23598/13) a deciding officer disallowed the application for carer’s allowance in this case on the grounds that the person in question failed to disclose her means. The person in question was notified on 25 April 2013 of this decision, the reason(s) for it and of her right to review or appeal within 21 days. To date, no appeal has been received by the department or by the Social Welfare Appeals Office and the time-limit for such an appeal has expired. It is open to the person in question to submit a new application for carer’s allowance and a decision will be made in due course.
