Paul Bradford
Question:169 Mr. Bradford asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will review the regulations governing the payment of a carer's allowance in view of the fact that many applicants who are providing daily care and assistance for relatives are refused the allowance on the basis that they are not living with them; if, in view of the frequency of such refusals as illustrated by the response to a person (details supplied) in County Cork, he will amend the regulations; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
