I confirm that my department received an application for carer’s benefit from the person concerned on 21 December 2016.

Additional information was requested from her on 2 February 2017. 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.
