Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 October 2016
270. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Social Protection when the child dependent allowance and arrears due will be paid to a person (details supplied) who is in receipt of carer's benefit; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29693/16]
View answerCarer's Benefit is awarded to the person concerned for the period 19 March 2015 to 15 March 2017.
An application for an increase for 2 qualified children was received on 25 July 2016 and has been awarded on 7 October 2016 and the first payment will issue to her nominated bank account 20 October 2016.
Arrears of allowance due in the period from 19 March 2015 to 19 October 2016 will also issue on 20 October 2016.
The person concerned was notified on 7 October 2016 of this decision, the reason for it and of her right of review and appeal.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
