Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 October 2018
217. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of an application for a carer's support grant by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [42576/18]
View answerThe Carer's Support Grant is an annual payment made to carers by my Department.
The customer concerned has been awarded both the 2017 and 2018 Carer's Support Grants. An amount of €3,400 (€1,700 for 2017 and €1,700 for 2018) will be lodged to her nominated bank account on Thursday 18th October 2018.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
