358. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Social Protection when will a decision be made on an application for a carer's allowance in respect of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20508/16]
View answerThe application for carer’s allowance in respect of the person concerned was awarded on 4 July 2016 and the first payment is due to issue to the person’s nominated post office on 14 July 2016.
Arrears of allowance due from 4 February 2016 have issued by cheque. The person concerned was notified of these details on 4 July 2016.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
