An application for domiciliary care allowance was received from the person concerned on the 19th 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 6 October 2015 outlining the decision of the deciding officer to refuse the allowance.

A review of this decision was requested on 9th November 2015. The application will be re-examined by a deciding officer and a revised decision will be made if warranted. The person concerned will be notified of the outcome of the review as soon as it is completed. Such reviews can take up to 12 weeks to complete at present.
