Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 July 2016
149. 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. [20021/16]
View answerThe application for carer’s allowance in respect of the person concerned was awarded on 7 June 2016 and the first payment issued to the person’s nominated bank account on 30 June 2016.
Any arrears of allowance due, less jobseeker’s allowance paid during that period, will issue shortly.
The person concerned was notified of these details on 7 June 2016.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
