The person concerned has been awarded invalidity pension with effect from the 23 April 2015. Payment will issue to her nominated bank account on the 16 July 2015. Any arrears due from 23 April 2015 to 15 July 2015 (less any overlapping social welfare payment and/or outstanding overpayment) will issue in due course. The person in question was notified of this decision on the 2 July 2015.

Carer's allowance (CA) is a payment made to persons who are providing full-time care and attention to certain people with disabilities and whose income falls below certain limits.

This CA application is currently being processed and the person concerned has agreed to furnish outstanding financial documents. Once received her entitlement will be determined and she will be notified directly of the outcome.
