I confirm that the department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person in question on the 9th May 2014. 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. He was notified of this decision on the 1st of September 2014, the reason for it and of his right of review or appeal within 21 days of the date the decision was notified. No further correspondence in relation to this matter has been received to date from the person in question.
