Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 December 2016
340. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of an application for carer's allowance by a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40104/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraI confirm that my department received an application for carer's allowance (CA) from the person concerned on 12 July 2016. Unfortunately, the medical part of the form was not fully and appropriately completed so it had to be returned. Following a reminder from my Department, this part of the form was returned on 2 December 2016. The application is currently being processed and once completed, the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
