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 15 September 2023.
The application was awarded to the person concerned on 21 September 2023 and the first payment will issue to their nominated bank account on 5 October 2023.
Arrears of allowance due from 21 September 2023 to 4 October 2023 will issue shortly.
The person concerned was notified on 27 September 2023 of this decision, the reason for it and of their right of review and appeal.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
