The applicant in this case applied for an Exceptional Needs Payment to cover the cost of private dental care. This application was refused by the Designated Person as private dental care is not considered an exceptional need. Following a review, the original decision of the Designated Person to refuse the application was upheld.

I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
