Carer’s allowance (CA) is in payment to the person concerned since 13 May 2010 in respect of one care recipient.
I confirm that my Department received an application for CA from him on the 15 September 2016 in respect of a 2nd care recipient resident at a different location from the first.
The application was referred to a local social welfare inspector (SWI) on 12 November 2016 to assess the level of care being provided, assess means and confirm that all the conditions for receipt of carer’s allowance are satisfied. Once the SWI has reported, a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
