Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 9 February 2022
102. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Social Protection when a top-up to a carer's allowance payment will issue to a person (details supplied) in County Donegal; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [6964/22]
View answerThe person concerned made an application for Enhanced Illness Benefit from the 30th December 2021. Their claim was awarded; however,as they are in receipt of Carer's Allowance, they are only due a reduced amount of payment to increase their Carer's Allowance payment up to the Enhanced Illness benefit rate of €350.00 per week.
The claim from the person concerned has been processed and a payment of €359.50 has issued to them.
I trust this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
