An application for domiciliary care allowance was received on the 28th August 2013. The application was disallowed as the child was not considered to satisfy the qualifying conditions for the allowance and a letter issued on the 23rd September 2013 advising of the decision.

A review of this decision has been requested and additional information on this child’s condition/care needs has been supplied. The review requires that the case be looked at by a further medical assessor. The person concerned will be notified of the outcome of this review as soon as it is completed.
