Amharc ar fhreagraAn application for domiciliary care allowance was received on 3 October 2014 and additional information was received on the 9th December 2014 from the person concerned. The application was not allowed as the child was not considered to satisfy the qualifying conditions for the allowance. A letter issued on the 16th January 2015 advising of the decision.
In the case of the application which was refused on medical grounds the applicant may submit additional information and/or ask for the decision to be reviewed or they may appeal the decision directly to the Social Welfare Appeals Office within twenty one days.
