Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 July 2016
294. 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. [23381/16]
View answerI confirm that my department received an application for carer's allowance (CA) from the person concerned on 7 April 2016. Additional information in relation to the person's application, which is necessary in order to make a decision but which was omitted from the application, has been requested by a deciding officer on 22 June 2016. Once the information is received from the person concerned, the application will be processed without delay and he will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
