The only application for domiciliary care allowance on record in respect of the person concerned was received in April 2012. 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 her on 15 June 2012 advising of this decision.

In the case of an application which is refused 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. No request for a review was received and there is no record of an appeal having been registered in this case.
