I confirm that my Department received a carer’s allowance (CA) application on the 23 August 2017 from the person concerned in respect of two care recipients. It is a condition for receipt of a CA that the level of care and attention being provided by the carer must be full-time.
The evidence submitted in support of this application was examined and the deciding officer decided that this evidence indicated that this condition was not satisfied.
The person concerned was notified on 7 December 2017 of this decision, the reason for it and of her right of review and appeal.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
