I confirm that my department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person concerned on 22 March 2016. Additional information in relation to the person’s application has been requested. Once the information is received the application will be processed without delay and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
