I confirm that my department received an application for carer's benefit from the person concerned on 22 November 2016. Additional information in relation to the person’s application was requested by a deciding officer on 12 January 2017. Once the information is received the application will be processed without delay and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
