Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 October 2016
140. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection if a decision has been made on an application for carer's allowance in respect of a person (details supplied) who was in receipt of carer's benefit; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31213/16]
View answerI confirm that my department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person concerned on 29 July 2016. Additional information was requested by a deciding officer on 6 October 2016.
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.
