The carer's allowance claim of the person in question was reviewed when the care recipient reached 16 years of age and no longer qualified for domiciliary care allowance. It was decided that the care recipient no longer satisfied the medical criteria for receipt of carer's allowance.
Additional medical evidence was subsequently received and assessed but, based upon the opinion of the Department's medical assessor, the deciding officer decided that there was no grounds to revise the original decision. She was notified of this decision and the reason for it.
The person concerned again furnished further medical evidence which was also referred to the medical assessor on for consideration. However, again it was decided that no grounds existed to revise the original decision.
Accordingly, on 5 December 2011, payment of carer's allowance was stopped. She has been notified of this decision and the reason for it.
