Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 April 2016
17. Deputy Tom Neville asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the status of an application by a person (details supplied) in County Limerick under the carer's allowance scheme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [6481/16]
View answerI confirm that the department received an application for carer’s allowance (CA) from the person concerned on 6 January 2016 in respect of two care recipients.
The application has been referred 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 carer’s allowance are satisfied. Once the SWI has reported, a deciding officer will make a decision and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
