The person in question is currently in receipt of half-rate carer's allowance in conjunction with another primary social welfare payment. I confirm that the department is in receipt of an application from the person in question for an increase in carer's allowance in respect of a second care recipient. On completion of the necessary investigations relating to all aspects of her case a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
