An application for domiciliary care allowance was received on the 17th February 2014. The application was not allowed as it was considered that the child did not meet the eligibility criteria for the allowance. A decision letter issued to the customer on the 1st May 2014 advising of this decision.

In the case of an application which is refused on medical grounds the applicant may submit additional information and/or ask for the decision to be reviewed or they may appeal the decision directly to the Social Welfare Appeals Office within 21 days. To date there has been no request for a review and no record of an appeal having been registered in this case.
