An application for domiciliary care allowance was received from this lady on 12 October 2017. This application was not allowed as the child was not considered to satisfy the qualifying conditions for the allowance. A letter issued on 11 January 2018 outlining the decision of the deciding officer.

A request for a review of this decision was received on 24 January 2018. The application will be re-examined by a deciding officer and a revised decision will be made if warranted. The lady concerned will be notified of the outcome of this review as soon as it is completed.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
