The application for carer's allowance from the person in question was refused on the ground that the care recipient is not in need of full-time care and attention as laid down in the regulations.

The person in question has requested a review of this decision and has submitted further medical evidence in support of the application. Once the review is completed, they will be notified directly of the outcome.
