Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 July 2016
153. 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. [20026/16]
View answerI confirm that my department received an application for carer’s allowance (CA) from the person concerned on 7 April 2016. Additional information, omitted from the application but necessary in order to make a decision, has been requested by a deciding officer. Once the information is received the application will be processed without delay and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
