Carer's allowance 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.

I wish to inform the Deputy that following an appeal dated 29 March 2023, arrears of Carer's Allowance and associated correspondence issued directly to the person concerned on 26 May 2023.

I trust that this information clarifies the position for the Deputy.
