I confirm an application for carer's allowance was received from the above named. On 17 April her file was referred to an Investigative Officer of this Department for further examination and confirmation that all conditions for receipt of Carer's Allowance are satisfied.

On completion of the necessary investigations relating to all aspects of her claim a decision will be made and the person in question will be notified directly of the outcome.
