Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 12 July 2017
450. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of an application for carer's allowance by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33546/17]
View answerAn application for carer's allowance (CA) was received from the person concerned on 28 March 2017.
The application was awarded to the person concerned on 29 June 2017 and the first payment issued to their bank account on 29 June 2017. The person concerned had previously been in receipt of carer’s benefit until 28 June 2017.
The person concerned was notified on 9 June 2017 of this decision, the reason for it and of her right of review and appeal.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
