An application for domiciliary care allowance was received from the person concerned on the 24th March 2011. 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 19th May 2011 advising the person concerned of the decision. In the case of an application which is refused on medical grounds, the applicant may submit additional information and/or ask for the case to be reviewed or they may appeal the decision directly to the Social Welfare Appeals Office within 21 days.
