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.
I can confirm an application for CA was received from the person concerned on 17 October 2022.
Additional information in relation to the person’s application was requested by a deciding officer on 25 October 2022.
Some of the requested information was returned on 28 October 2022 but not all of the requested information has been received.
Once the outstanding 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 matter for the Deputy.
