I confirm that the Department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person in question on the 29th November 2011. The application is currently with a social welfare investigative officer for means assessment and confirmation that all the conditions for receipt of carer’s allowance are satisfied. Once the investigative officer has completed and submitted the report a deciding officer will make a full decision and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
