An application for domiciliary care allowance was received on the 29th June 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 decision letter issued on the 7th September 2010 where the customer was advised of the decision. The person concerned subsequently lodged an appeal against this decision and she was informed by the Social Welfare Appeals Office on the 21st February 2011 that the appeal had not been allowed.

The decision/appeal process for this application is now complete. All the information available at that time was provided to the appeals officer before the appeal was considered.
