405. Deputy Derek Keating asked the Minister for Social Protection the position regarding a domiciliary care allowance in respect of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1702/14]
View answerAn application for domiciliary care allowance was received on the 30th October 2013. The application was not allowed as it was considered that the child does not meet the eligibility criteria for the allowance. A decision letter issued to the customer on the 6th January 2014 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.
