I confirm that my department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person concerned on the 24 April 2017. The application is currently being processed and once completed, the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.

I confirm that my department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person concerned on 22 February 2017. Additional information in relation to the person’s application was requested by a deciding officer on 10 May 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.
