I confirm that my Department received an application for carer’s allowance (CA) from the person concerned on 12 July 2016.

Additional information was requested on 5 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.
