Carer's benefit (CARB) is a payment made to insured people who leave the workforce to care for a child or an adult in need of full-time care and attention. An increased payment can be made where full-time care is being provided to two people.
I confirm that my department received an application for CARB from the person concerned on the 3 January 2019.
The application is currently being processed and once complete, the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
