An application for domiciliary care allowance (DCA) was received for the person concerned on 23rd September 2010. This application was referred to one of the Department's Medical Assessors who found that the child was not medically eligible for the allowance. A letter issued on 24th November 2010 refusing the allowance. The person concerned subsequently lodged an appeal against the decision and she was informed by the Social Welfare Appeals Office on 20th June 2011 that the appeal had been disallowed. The decision/appeal process for this application is now complete. All the available information was provided to the appeals officer before the appeal was considered.
