Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 February 2021
484. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection if a part carer’s allowance will be approved in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [8186/21]
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 child or an adult who has such a disability that as a result they require that level of care.
I confirm that my department received an application for CA from the person concerned on 7 January 2021.
Additional information in relation to the person’s application was requested by a Deciding Officer (DO) on 12 January 2021.
Once the information is received, the application will be processed without delay and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
