I confirm that my department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person in question on 4 October 2016. The application is currently being processed and once completed, the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy. If you require any further assistance on this please contact Philip in my office.
