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

A decision on this application is expected to be completed shortly and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.

In the meantime, both the person concerned and his spouse are in receipt of a weekly social welfare support.
