Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 January 2016
63. Deputy Noel Coonan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection when an application under the carer's allowance scheme by a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary will be finalised; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1744/16]
View answerI confirm that the department received an application for carer’s allowance (CA) from the person concerned on 29 April 2015.
On 17 August 2015 a deciding officer sent a request to the person in question for additional information necessary to determine eligibility. A further request for specific relevant information issued on 17 September 2015.
As the person concerned has failed to supply the requested documentation, the deciding officer is not in a position to make a decision as to her entitlement to CA.
If the person concerned wishes to proceed with her application, she should furnish the outstanding documentation as soon as possible.
