An application for the Carer’s Support Grant (formerly called Respite Care Grant) was received in my Department on 15 July 2016. This application is being processed as expeditiously as possible having regard to the significant increase in the number of people applying for Carers Support Grant this year.

The applicant will be notified of the outcome as soon as possible.
