    Model answer:

    I am writing to request a visit to Ms. Weiss's home to assess her eligibility to receive a
    sickness allowance or other benefits from the Australian Government Department of
    Human Services. Ms. Weiss is recovering from a heart attack, and she will not be able to
    work for the next six weeks.
    Ms. Weiss works as a taxi driver and does not have regular working hours. She is married to
    Mr. Peter Weiss, a retired aged pensioner, and she has a daughter. Her medical history
    includes mild osteoarthritis (joint inflammation) and asthma, and high cholesterol levels.
    After Ms. Weiss's admission due to a heart attack, she received the appropriate
    management and was educated about possible risk factors and lifestyle modifications in
    order to avoid future similar events. However, she was concerned that she would not be
    able to manage at home while only depending on her husband's pension.
    Today, Ms. Weiss is ready for discharge, but she will not be able to drive for the next six
    weeks. She will be referred to a cardiac rehabilitation nurse specialist and an occupational
    therapist, and a list of her medications will be attached to this letter.
    Given the above, it would be appreciated if you could assess Ms. Weiss's suitability for
    receiving financial aid or assistance via your service.
