1680. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of an application for a carer's allowance by a person (details supplied). [1974/18]

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.

My department received an application for CA from the person concerned on the 24 November 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.
