Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 23 May 2012
151 Deputy Brian Walsh asked the Minister for Social Protection if an application for carer’s allowance will be expedited in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Galway; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [25933/12]
View answerI confirm that the department is in receipt of an application for carer's allowance from the person in question. In the interests of fairness and equity, applications for carer's allowance are processed, as far as possible, in order of the date they were received in the Department.
On completion of the necessary investigations relating to all aspects of her case a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
