The person in question was refused carer's allowance on the grounds that the care recipient is not so disabled as to require full-time care and attention as prescribed in regulations. He was notified of this decision and the reason for it.
He appealed this decision and forwarded additional medical evidence in support of his appeal. This new information has been forwarded to the medical assessor for further consideration.
The outcome of the review is due shortly.
