I confirm that the department is in receipt of an application for carer’s allowance from the person in question. Further medical information and other information sought by the deciding officer has been received from the person in question. The additional medical evidence has been referred to a medical assessor for assessment and opinion.
On completion of the medical assessment, the application will be processed as quickly as possible and when a decision is made the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
