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.

CA was awarded to the person concerned on 27 February 2018 and the first payment issued to her nominated bank account on 4 March 2018.

Arrears of allowance due from to 16 November 2017 have also issued. The person concerned was notified of these details on 27 February 2018.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
