Written answers

An application for domiciliary care allowance was received from the person concerned on the 4th September 2019. The application was not allowed as the child was not considered to satisfy the qualifying conditions for the allowance. A letter issued on the 15th November 2019 setting out the decision of the deciding officer to refuse the allowance.

A request for a review of the decision was received on the 21st November 2019 and an appeal was subsequently registered by the Social Welfare Appeals Office on the 28th November 2019. As part of the appeals process, the application was re-examined by a deciding officer and the person concerned was notified on the 23rd January 2020 that the review was unsuccessful. An appeal submission was prepared and forwarded to the Social Welfare Appeals Office on the 24th January 2020. The Social Welfare Appeals Office will contact the person directly about the outcome of the appeal.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
