I confirm that my department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person concerned on the 24 November 2017.

Carer's allowance is a means-tested social assistance payment, made to persons who are providing full-time care and attention to a person who has such a disability that they require that level of care.

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.

Carer's allowance (CA) is a means-tested social assistance payment, made to persons who are providing full-time care and attention to a person who has such a disability that they require that level of care.

I confirm that my department received an application for CA from the person concerned on the 29 September 2017.

Additional information was requested from the person concerned on 11 January 2018. 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.

Carer's allowance (CA) is a means-tested social assistance payment made to a person who is habitually resident in the State and who is providing full-time care and attention to a person who has such a disability that they require that level of care.

I confirm that my department received an application for CA from the person concerned on the 8 November 2017.

Additional information was requested from the person concerned on 12 January 2018. 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.
