An application for domiciliary care allowance was received from the person concerned on the 27th August 2013. The application was disallowed as the child was not considered to satisfy the qualifying conditions for the allowance. A letter issued on the 23rd September 2013 advising of the decision.
The person concerned subsequently requested a review of the decision. The case was reviewed by another Medical Assessor on the 29th January 2014, who having examined all the information supplied, confirmed the earlier opinion that the child was not medically eligible for the allowance. A letter issued on the 10th February 2014 advising of the position.
