Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 January 2016
91. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the status of an application under the carer's allowance scheme by a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [46929/15]
View answerI confirm that the Department received an application for carer’s allowance (CA) from the person concerned on 22 September 2015.
The application was referred by a deciding officer (DO) to a local social welfare inspector (SWI) 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 DO will make a decision and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
