Carer's allowance (CA) is a means-tested social assistance payment made to a person who is habitually resident in the State and who is providing full-time care and attention to a person who has such a disability that they require that level of care.
I confirm that my department received an application for CA from the person concerned on the 18 January 2018.
Additional information was requested from the person concerned on 17 April 2018. Once the information is received the application will be processed and he will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
