To ask the Minister for Social Protection when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will receive a decision on their review application for carer’s allowance; if this case was assessed by a medical assessor; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40250/12]

I confirm that the department is in receipt of an application for carer's allowance from the person in question. In June of this year the person concerned submitted additional medical evidence in support of the application. This medical evidence is awaiting further assessment by a medical assessor. Once the medical assessment has been completed the application a deciding officer will make a full decision. The application will be processed as quickly as possible and when a decision is made the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
