Deputy Nicky McFadden asked the Minister for Social Protection if the habitual residence form of a person (details supplied) in County Westmeath in respect of a carer's allowance application has been approved; when a decision will issue; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [43194/12]
View answerAn application for carer’s allowance was received from the person in question on 10 August 2012. On 5 October a letter was issued to the person in question by a deciding officer requesting further information and evidence to demonstrate his habitual residency. The person concerned has 21 days to respond and forward the requested information. Once the deciding officer has received all the information, they can continue with the processing of the application. Once all the necessary investigations have been carried out, a decision will be made and the person in question will be contacted directly with the outcome.
