622. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection when arrears will issue to a person (details supplied) in relation to a carer's allowance claim in payment since March 2018; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [23686/18]

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 can confirm that arrears of CA due from 30 November 2017 to 28 March 2018, will issue to the nominated post office of the person concerned on 31 May 2018.

The person concerned was notified of this on 23 May 2018.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
