The application for carer’s allowance was stopped on 12 August 2015 on the grounds that care recipient was not in need of full-time care and attention.
The carer was notified on 20 July 2015 of this decision, the reason for it and of her right of review and appeal.
The person concerned has appealed this decision to the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office (SWAO). All the necessary papers have been submitted to the Social Welfare Appeals Office for determination. The SWAO will be in touch with the person concerned in relation to the progress of the appeal.
