I confirm that the department received an application for Carer's Allowance (CA) from the person concerned on 6 October 2015 in respect of two care recipients.
It is a condition for receipt of a CA that the carer must be providing full-time care and attention. It is a further condition that the person being cared for must require full-time care and attention.
The evidence submitted in support of this application was examined and a deciding officer (DO) decided that the person concerned was not entitled to CA in respect of either of the care recipients on the grounds that neither of these conditions was satisfied.
The person concerned was notified on 3 May 2016 of these decisions, the reasons for it and of her right of review and appeal.
