An application for carer's allowance (CA) was received from the person concerned on 29 January 2016.

The application was disallowed on 2 June 2016. The person concerned appealed this decision and the case was submitted to the Social Welfare Appeals office for determination on 22 August 2016. An appeals officer, having fully considered all of the available evidence has allowed the appeal and the implementation of that decision is currently being processed.

Once completed, the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
