I confirm that the department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person concerned on 17 December 2015.
The matter was referred to a local social welfare inspector (SWI) on 22 January 2016 to assess means and to 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.
