Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 July 2016
152. 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. [20024/16]
View answerThe application for carer’s allowance in respect of the person concerned was awarded on 5 July 2016 and the first payment is due to issue to their nominated post office on 21 July 2016.
Arrears of allowance due from 2 June 2016 to 20 July 2016, less jobseeker’s allowance paid during that period, will issue shortly.
The person concerned was notified of these details on 5 July 2016.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
