630 Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Social Protection when carer’s allowance appeal will be approved in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Laois; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18947/12]
View answerThe person concerned was refused an increase in her carer's allowance in respect of a second care recipient on the grounds that, based upon the medical evidence provided, the care recipient is not so disabled as to require full time care and attention as prescribed in regulations. On 29 February 2012, she was notified of this decision and the reason for it.
There is no record to date of an appeal having been submitted in this case.
