I confirm that the department received an application for carer’s allowance (CA) from the person concerned on 20 August 2015.
The application was referred to a local social welfare inspector (SWI) on 11 January 2016 to assess the level of care being provided, assess means and confirm that all the conditions for receipt of carer’s allowance are satisfied.
The delay in this case is regretted. Once the SWI has reported, a deciding officer will make a decision as quickly as possible. The person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
