Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 October 2015
40. Deputy Noel Coonan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection when an application for a carer's allowance by a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary will be finalised; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35761/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraI confirm that the department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person concerned on 2 June 2015.
The application is currently with a 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. At present the inspector is waiting on the person concerned to supply farm income details.
Once the inspector has returned an investigative report, the application will be processed without delay.
The person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
