I confirm that the department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person concerned on 16 October 2015.

The application has been referred to a local social welfare inspector (SWI) on 14 November 2015 to assess the level of care being provided, assess means and confirm that all the conditions for receipt of carer’s allowance are satisfied.

Once the SWI has reported, a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
