474. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection when a carer’s allowance application by a person (details supplied) will be expedited. [16038/22]

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 child or an adult who has such a disability that as a result they require that level of care.

An application for CA was received from the person concerned on 21 March 2022.

Additional information in relation to the person’s application was requested by a deciding officer on 23 March 2022.

Once the information is received the application will be processed without delay and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.

I hope this clarifies the position.
