Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 December 2022
70. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the progress to date in the determination of an application for the carer’s allowance in the case of persons (details supplied); when a decision will issue; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [61082/22]
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.
An application for CA was received from the person concerned on 9 November 2022.
CA was awarded on today's date 5 December 2022 and the person concerned will be notified directly in writing of this decision, the reason for it and of their right of review and appeal.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
