The person in question was advised that the care recipient does not satisfy the medical criteria for receipt of carer's allowance based on the evidence submitted with the application form. Additional medical evidence was provided in support of the case in April 2012. This information was forwarded to the medical assessor for further consideration.

On completion of the necessary investigations a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
