122. Deputy Marcella Corcoran Kennedy asked the Minister for Social Protection the position regarding domiciliary care allowance in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Offaly; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40131/13]
View answerAn application for domiciliary care allowance was received from the person concerned on the 17th June 2013. The application was disallowed as it was considered that the child does not meet the eligibility criteria for the allowance. A letter issued on the 19th July 2013 advising of the decision.
In the case of an application which is refused on medical grounds the applicant may submit additional information and/or ask for the decision to be reviewed or they may appeal the decision directly to the Social Welfare Appeals Office within twenty one days.
