Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 November 2013
92. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Social Protection when a decision will issue on a claim for carer's allowance in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Mayo; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [48509/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm that the carer’s allowance payments to the person concerned were suspended in May 2013 pending a report from a social welfare investigative officer. There is evidence that all the conditions for receipt of carer’s allowance are not satisfied. It is expected that the investigative officer will shortly complete and submit the report and a deciding officer will review and decide upon entitlement of the person in question.
