An application for domiciliary care allowance was received on 8th February 2012. 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 9th March 2012 advising of the decision.

The person concerned has supplied additional information and an appeal will be registered in this case. As part of the appeal process, the case will be forwarded to another of the Department's Medical Assessors for further consideration, including a review of the new information supplied. Upon receipt of the Medical Assessor's opinion, the case will be further considered and forwarded to the Appeals Office, if necessary.
