Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 June 2016
148. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Social Protection to set out 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. [16397/16]
View answerFollowing review of all the evidence, the application for carer’s allowance in respect of the person concerned was awarded on 14 June 2016 and the first payment is due to issue to the person’s nominated bank account on 23 June 2016.
Arrears of allowance due from 21 January 2016 have issued by cheque. The person concerned was notified of these details on 14 June 2016.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
