An application for domiciliary care allowance (DCA) was received from the person concerned on the 14th March 2013. 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 20th May 2013 outlining the decision to refuse the allowance. The person concerned subsequently lodged an appeal against this decision and was informed by the Social Welfare Appeals Office on the 4th December 2013 that the appeal had not been allowed.
