An application for domiciliary care allowance was received from the person concerned on the 30th April 2015. This application was not allowed as the child was not considered to satisfy the qualifying conditions for the allowance. A letter issued on the 12th August 2015 outlining the decision of the deciding officer to refuse the allowance.
A review of this decision was requested on 9th September 2015 and additional information on this child’s condition/care needs was supplied. The additional information provided, together with the original application, was recently re-examined by a deciding officer with the benefit of the opinion of another medical assessor. The deciding officer does not consider that a revised decision is warranted at this time, as the child is not considered to satisfy the qualifying conditions for the allowance. A letter outlining the position issued to the person concerned on 11 December 2015.
