I confirm that my Department received an application for carer’s benefit from the person concerned on 19 October 2017.

Additional information was requested from the person concerned on 2 December 2017. Once the information is received the application will be processed without delay and he will be notified directly of the outcome.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
