I propose to take Questions Nos. 613 and 649 together.

I confirm that the Department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person in question on the 6th August 2013. A letter issued on 11th of September 2013 requesting additional information in relation to the means assessment which was not supplied with the application. As soon as this information is received it will be processed by a deciding officer and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
