My department informs me that there is no application from the person concerned for carer’s allowance (CA) registered. If the person concerned wishes to make an application, she should complete and return the application form (CR1) that I have arranged to issue to her.
However, I confirm that my department received an application for carer’s benefit (CARB) from the person concerned on the 29 May 2018.
CARB is a payment made to insured people who leave the workforce to care for a person(s) in need of full-time care and attention.
The application is currently being processed and once completed, the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
