Dear Tracey

Thank you for your email dated 14 February 2019 requesting the following
information under the Official Information Act 1982:

Could you please advise me of the specific criteria for being eligible for
Carers Support. What legislation does this come under? In addition is a
child’s diagnosis of ADHD insufficient? Who is able to grant this and are
they able to use their discretion, ie grant it according to the need
rather than the diagnosis?

The Ministry's reference number for your request is: H201900748.

As required under the Act we will endeavour to respond to your request no
later than 14 March 2019, being 20 working days after the day your request
was received.  

If we are unable to respond to your request within this time frame, we
will notify you of an extension of that time frame.

If you have any queries related to this request, please do not hesitate to
get in touch.
 
Yours sincerely,

child’s diagnosis of ADHD insufficient? Who is able to grant this and are
they able to use their discretion, ie grant it according to the need
rather than the diagnosis?

Yours faithfully,
Tracey
