Mr. John McKeon:
Yes, and 1% of cases that are refused are appealed and then half of those are awarded subsequently. That is the overall picture but I will come back to the Deputy with specific information on domiciliary care allowance cases. I would ask her to bear in mind that she is dealing with the cases that are not approved and she is not hearing about the applications that are accepted. It would be wrong to think that those cases are reflective of the general experience.
