An application for domiciliary care allowance was received on the 2nd October 2014 from the person concerned. The application was not allowed as the child was not considered to satisfy the qualifying conditions for the allowance. A letter issued on the 7th January 2015 advising of the decision.

In the case of the application which was 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 twenty one days.

A request for a review of the decision or an appeal of the decision has not be received to date.
