This application for carer’s allowance was disallowed on 7th March 2012. It was refused on medical grounds. The person in question requested a review of this decision and submitted further medical evidence in support of the application. This information has been forwarded to the medical assessor for further consideration. On completion of this assessment, a deciding officer will make a full decision. The application will be processed as quickly as possible and when a decision is made the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
