An application for domiciliary care allowance was received on the 20th August 2013. The application was not allowed as it was considered that the child does not meet the medical eligibility criteria for the allowance. A decision letter issued to the customer on the 18th September 2013 advising of this 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.
