Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 9 October 2019
152. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection when an application by a person (details supplied) for a carer's benefit will be processed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [41297/19]
View answerCarer's benefit (CARB) is a PRSI based payment, made to persons who are providing full-time care and attention to a person who has such a disability that they require that level of care.
An application for Carer's Benefit was received from the person concerned on 18 September 2019. 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.
