An application for domiciliary care allowance was received on the 1st October 2012. This application was referred to one of the Department’s Medical Assessors who considered that the child was not medically eligible for the allowance. A letter issued on the 25th October 2012 advising of the decision. The person concerned requested a review of the decision and the case has been forwarded to another of the Department’s Medical Assessors for further consideration. The person concerned will be notified of the outcome of this review as soon as it is completed.
