The person concerned was refused carer's allowance on the ground that the care recipient is not so disabled as to require full time care and attention as prescribed in regulations. He was notified of this decision, the reason for it and of his right of review or appeal. Additional medical evidence was received and this information has been forwarded to the medical assessor for further consideration. The person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome of this review in due course.
