Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 October 2012
362. Deputy John Browne asked the Minister for Social Protection when an application for carer's allowance will be approved in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Wexford; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [46296/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI confirm that the Department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person in question on the 29th November 2011. The application is currently with a social welfare investigative officer for means assessment and confirmation that all the conditions for receipt of carer’s allowance are satisfied. Once the investigative officer has completed and submitted the report a deciding officer will make a full decision and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
