Written answers

Carer's Allowance (CA) is a means-tested social assistance payment, made to a person who is providing full-time care and attention to a person who has a disability such that they require that level of care. CA is in payment to the person concerned since 17 April 2008.

The person concerned has requested a review of her means on 11 January 2017 and forwarded a P45. Further information deemed necessary to determine changes in her means was requested from her on 7 March 2017. Once the information is received the review will be processed and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
