This application for carer’s allowance was awarded on 1st November 2012 and a letter issued to the person in question notifying them of the decision and how the rate was arrived at. The person in question was assessed with a weekly means of €202.18 per week and so is therefore entitled to carer’s allowance at a rate of €9.00 per week with an increase for two qualified children at €29.80 per week. The first payment will issue to the person in question on 15th November 2012 into their bank account. Any arrears due will issue shortly.
