Written answers
I confirm that the department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person concerned on 16 September 2015.
Further information which is necessary in order to complete a means test on the person in question was requested from him on 23 January 2016 and again on 29 January 2016. The Department is unable to make a decision on his eligibility for CA in the absence of this information.
Once received the application will be processed and when a decision is made the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
