An application for domiciliary care allowance was received from the person concerned on 11 December 2013. This application was not allowed as the child was not considered to satisfy the qualifying conditions for the allowance. A letter issued on the 18 February 2014 outlining the decision of the deciding officer to refuse the allowance.
A review of this decision was requested on 29 June 2015 and additional information on this child’s condition/care needs was supplied on 2 November 2015. The application together with the new information supplied has been forwarded to a medical assessor for their professional opinion. Once this opinion is received the application will be re-examined by a deciding officer and a revised decision will be made if warranted. The person concerned will be notified of the outcome of this review as soon as it is completed.
