Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 November 2012
393. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Social Protection when an application for carer's allowance was received in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Cork; when a decision may be expected; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [50004/12]
View answerI confirm that the department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person in question on the 22/12/11. The medical assessment has been completed. The application is currently with a social welfare investigative officer for confirmation that all the conditions for receipt of carer’s allowance are satisfied. Once the investigative officer has completed and submitted the report a deciding officer will make a full decision. The application will be processed as quickly as possible and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
Question No. 394 answered with Question No. 391.
