I confirm that the department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person in question on the 22nd October 2013. The person concerned was refused carer’s allowance on the grounds that the care recipient is not so disabled as to require full time care and attention as prescribed in regulations.

The person in question recently submitted additional medical evidence in support of their application. However, following review, this information did not alter the decision and it remains unchanged. The person in question was notified of this decision on the 23rd May 2014, the reason for it and of her right of appeal.
