An application for domiciliary care allowance was received by the Department on 12th August 2009 from the person in question. This application was referred to one of the Department's Medical Assessors who found that the child did not satisfy the medical criteria for payment. A letter issued to the person in question on 12th October 2009 to advise of this decision.

Further medical information was submitted and reviewed by a Medical Assessor who found the child not medically eligible. Additional medical information has since been received and this is currently being reviewed by another Medical Assessor and a decision will issue shortly.
