Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 February 2021
398. Deputy Brian Stanley asked the Minister for Social Protection if a decision has been made on whether the pandemic unemployment payment is to be included in the means test assessment for carer’s allowance; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5030/21]
View answerThe current position in relation to the Pandemic Unemployment Payment is that it can be paid concurrently with certain social welfare payments, including Carer's Allowance. The Pandemic Unemployment Payment is not assessed as means.
I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
