I confirm that the department received an application for carer’s allowance (CA) from the person concerned on 4 September 2015. The person concerned was refused carers allowance on the grounds that he failed to co-operate with a social welfare inspector (SWI) and, as a consequence, the SWI was unable to complete his report or to establish means.

The person concerned was notified on 21 March 2016 of this decision, the reason for it and of his right of review and appeal.
