An application for domiciliary care allowance was received from the person concerned on the 2nd June 2015. This application was not allowed as the child was not considered to satisfy the qualifying conditions for the allowance. A letter issued on the 25th September 2015 outlining the decision of the deciding officer to refuse the allowance.

In the case of an application which is refused the applicant may submit additional information and ask for the decision to be reviewed or they may appeal the decision directly to the Social Welfare Appeals Office. The person concerned has been advised of these options in the decision letter.
