Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 May 2016
462. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of an application by a person (details supplied) under the carer's allowance scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9506/16]
View answerI confirm that the department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person concerned on 13 January 2016. Additional information in relation to the person’s application was requested by a deciding officer on 4 April 2016 and again on 28 April 2016. The DO requires this missing information in order to make a decision on the person’s eligibility for CA. Once the information is received the application will be processed and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
