I confirm that the department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person concerned on 13 November 2015.

Additional information that was omitted from the application was requested by the deciding officer on 10 February 2016. The person concerned submitted further evidence on 19 April 2016. A deciding officer will not review the case and a decision will be made, the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
