Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 June 2012
353 Deputy Patrick O’Donovan asked the Minister for Social Protection when a decision will be reached on a carer’s allowance application in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Mayo in view of the fact that this application was received on the 19 July 2011; the reason for the delay in a decision issuing in this case. [29257/12]
View answerI confirm that the department is in receipt of an application for carer's allowance from the person in question. The application was examined and has been forwarded to an investigating officer for confirmation that the applicant satisfies all aspects of the conditionality for the scheme. On completion of the necessary investigations relating to all aspects of the case a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
