Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 November 2012
395. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Social Protection the position regarding a carer’s allowance application in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Cork; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
Amharc ar fhreagraI confirm that the Department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person in question on 9th February 2012. The medical assessment has been completed. 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. The application will be processed as quickly as possible and when a decision is made the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
