Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 July 2018
901. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection to outline the progress to date in the determination of an application for carer's allowance in the case of a person (details supplied); if the application has reached a successful conclusion; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30876/18]
View answerCarer'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 26 February 2018.
Additional information and documentation was requested from the person concerned on 25 June 2018. Once the information is received the application will be processed without delay and she will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
