- Court
- District Court
The judge held that, applying s54 of the 1992 Act, entitlement to the independence allowance begins from the date of assessment (16 September 1994) because there was no evidence that the appellant had applied for the allowance or established deterioration prior to 1 July 1992; accordingly the respondent correctly refused to backdate the allowance and the appeal was dismissed.
