I confirm that my department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person concerned on 21 September 2016.

Additional information was requested from the person concerned on 21 October 2016. Once the information is received the application will be processed without delay and she will be notified directly of the outcome.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
