The person concerned was in receipt of the Carer's Allowance up to 13 March 2019.

The EU state pension (contributory) has been awarded from 14 March 2019 at the current weekly rate of €61.80. This will be paid to their nominated bank account on 10 March 2023 and any arrears due will be paid without delay. The person concerned was notified of this decision on 03 March 2023.

He is also in receipt of the increase for Living Alone at the weekly rate of €22.00.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
