An application for carer's allowance (CA) was received from the person concerned on 25 January 2016.

The application was disallowed on 31 May 2016. The person concerned appealed this decision and the case was submitted to the Social Welfare Appeals office for determination on 12 July 2016.

An appeals officer, having fully considered all of the available evidence has allowed the appeal and the decision has been returned to my Department for implementation. The case is currently being processed and, once completed, the person concerned will be notified directly of the relevant details.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
