Question:

250. Deputy Tom Neville asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of an entitlement to a carer's support grant for a person (details supplied). [17985/16]

Written answers

Minister for Social Protection

The Carer’s Support Grant (CSG) is paid automatically in June of each year (usually on the first Thursday of the month) to carers, such as the person concerned, who are in receipt of a qualifying payment on the first Thursday in June.

The CSG for the person concerned issued to their nominated post office on 2 June 2016.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
