I confirm that the Department received an application for carer’s allowance (CA) from the person concerned on 3 August 2016.

Further information was requested from the person concerned on 27 September 2016.

Once received, this application will be processed as quickly as possible 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.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
