Carer'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.
An application for CA was received from the person concerned on 25 August 2021.
Additional information in relation to the person’s application was requested by a deciding officer on 27 August 2021, some of which was received on 15 September 2021. A further information request regarding her rate of pay and hours of employment issued on 17 September 2021. As the information requested has not been received to date a reminder letter issued on 11 October 2021.
Once this 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.
