I confirm that the Department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person in question on 9 March 2015. The application was referred to social welfare inspector to assess the level of care being provided, assess means and confirm that all the conditions for receipt of carer’s allowance are satisfied.
Once the inspector has completed and submitted the report, a deciding officer will make a decision on entitlement. 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.
