I confirm that my department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person concerned on 29 July 2016. Additional information was requested by a deciding officer on 6 October 2016.

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.
