I confirm that the department is in receipt of an application for carer's allowance from the person in question. The application was examined and has been forwarded to an investigating officer for confirmation that the applicant satisfies all aspects of the conditionality for the scheme. On completion of the necessary investigations relating to all aspects of the case a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
