I confirm that the department received an application for carer’s allowance (CA) from the person in question on the 10 April 2015 for a second care recipient. The person concerned was refused CA for that second care recipient on the grounds that he is not so disabled as to require full time care and attention as prescribed in regulations. She was notified on the 30th of April 2015 of this decision, the reason for it and of her right of review and appeal.
