This application for carer's allowance was disallowed by a deciding officer on the 11 of May 2013 on the grounds that the carer is not providing full-time care and attention in accordance with the relevant legislation.

The person in question has appealed this decision.

A submission is being prepared by the Department and the file and all relevant papers will be forwarded to the Social Welfare Appeals Office shortly for determination.
