The principal conditions for receipt of the allowance are that full-time care and attention is required and is being provided, and that a means test is satisfied.

The person concerned is in receipt of carer's allowance for two care recipients. The application is currently with a social welfare inspector for confirmation that all of the conditions for receipt of carer’s allowance continue to be satisfied. Payment will continue while the review is being carried out.

Once the inspector has reported, the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome of the review.
