I confirm that the department received an application for CA from the person concerned on 23 June 2015. The evidence submitted in support of this application was examined and the deciding officer (DO) decided that the evidence submitted did not indicate that the care recipient requires continual supervision and frequent assistance throughout the day in connection with normal bodily functions, as required.
The person concerned was notified on 12 September 2015 of this decision, the reason for it and of her right of review and appeal.
I can confirm that additional evidence received is currently under review by a DO. The person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome of that review. If the outcome is to confirm refusal of the allowance, the person concerned will retain the right of appeal to the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office.
