A review of the decision to refuse domiciliary care allowance in this case was requested on 10 September 2015 and additional information on this child's condition/care needs has been supplied. The application together with the new information supplied has been forwarded to a medical assessor for their professional opinion. Following receipt of this opinion 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. Such reviews can take up to 12 weeks to complete at present.
