I confirm that the care recipient of the person in question satisfies the medical criteria for receipt of carer's allowance. In the interest of fairness and equity applications are processed, as far as possible, in order of the date in which they were received.

On completion of the necessary investigations relating to all other aspects of his case, including assessment of means, establishment of habitual residency and provision of full-time care, a decision will be made and the person concerned notified directly of the outcome.
