The application from the person in question for carer’s allowance was refused on medical grounds. A social welfare appeals officer, having fully considered all the available evidence allowed the appeal of the person concerned against the refusal on medical grounds and the relevant papers were received back in carer’s allowance section on the 10th of October 2012. The claim is now with a deciding officer for a revised decision and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
