Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 November 2023
264. Deputy Marc MacSharry asked the Minister for Social Protection when a person (detailed supplied) will receive a decision on a carers support grant application; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [49177/23]
View answerThe Carer's Support Grant (CSG) is an annual payment made to carers by my Department.
I can confirm that my Department received two applications for CSG from the person concerned on 30 August 2023.
In order to determine whether the person concerned satisfies the conditions for CSG, the matter has been referred to a local Social Welfare Inspector (SWI). Once the SWI has completed their enquiries, a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy .
