I confirm that the department received applications for carer’s allowance from the person in question on the 11th February 2015.
The application is currently with a social welfare inspector for assessment of the level of care being provided, assessment of means and confirmation that all the conditions for receipt of carer’s allowance are satisfied. Once the inspector 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.
