The person concerned was refused carers allowance on the ground that the care recipient is not so disabled as to require full time care and attention as prescribed in regulations. She was notified of this decision and the reason for it. 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 in this case the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
