The person concerned is currently receiving carer’s allowance (CA) for one care recipient, with an increase for one qualified child. The weekly carer’s allowance payment the person concerned is receiving is €238.80. This payment consists of a personal rate of €209.00 and €29.80 full rate for her child. This is the maximum amount that the person concerned is entitled to under the legislation.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
