Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 February 2013
223. Deputy Dan Neville asked the Minister for Social Protection the position regarding a carer's allowance application in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Limerick; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [7985/13]
View answerI confirm that the department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person in question on the 31st October 2012. The application is currently with a social welfare investigative officer for assessment of means assessment and 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 decision. The application will be processed as quickly as possible and when a decision is made the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
