The Department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person concerned on 2 April 2015.
The application was refused on the grounds that the care recipient is not so disabled as to require full-time care and attention as prescribed in regulations. The person concerned was notified on 8 June 2015 of this decision, the reason for it and of her right of review and appeal.
The additional evidence submitted by you has been passed to a deciding officer for review. The person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome of that review. If the outcome of that review is to confirm refusal of the allowance, the person concerned retains the right to appeal the decision to the Social Welfare Appeals Office.
