The application for carer’s allowance was awarded on 22nd April 2015. Any arrears of allowance due from 12th February 2015 to 8th April 2015 (less any overlapping social welfare payment) will issue in due course. The person in question was notified of this decision on 22nd April 2015. The department would like to offer condolences to the family of the deceased.

I confirm that the department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person in question on the 3rd February 2015. The application is currently with a social welfare investigative officer for assessment of means 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 decision on entitlement. 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.
