I confirm that my department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person concerned on 7 December 2016. The application is currently being processed and once completed, the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome. If you require any further assistance on this please do not hesitate to contact my office.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
