10. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection when she will issue a decision on an application by a person (details supplied) under the carer's allowance scheme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [8721/16]
View answerI confirm that the department received an application for carer’s allowance (CA) from the person concerned on 4 November 2015.
The application is currently being examined by the department to assess the level of care being provided, assess means and confirm that all the conditions for receipt of carer’s allowance are satisfied. A decision on the application will be made as quickly as possible and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
