Written answers

Carer's Allowance (CA) is a means tested social assistance payment, made to persons who are providing full-time care and attention to a person who has a disability such that they require that level of care.

The Department informs me that to date there is no record of the receipt of an application for CA from the person concerned. An application form for CA has issued to the person concerned.
