Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 November 2015
125. Deputy Pat Breen asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection when a decision on a carer's allowance will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Clare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39046/15]
View answerI confirm that the department received an application for carer’s allowance (CA) from the person concerned. The application was referred to a social welfare inspector (SWI) on 6 October 2015 to assess the level of care being provided, assess means and confirm that all the conditions for receipt of CA are satisfied.
Once the SWI has reported, a deciding officer will make a decision on the application and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
