I confirm that the department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person in question on the 17th January 2012. Further medical evidence in support of the application was received from the person concerned on the 23rd August 2012. This information has been forwarded to one of the Department’s medical assessors and is awaiting assessment. Once processed, the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
