I can confirm that the person concerned is in receipt of the maximum rate of Carer’s Allowance payable to a person caring for one care recipient of €209.00 per week.
This includes a budgetary increase of €5.00 per week effective from 16 March 2017.
In addition she is in receipt of the maximum rate payable for each of her 3 qualified children of €29.80 weekly per child.
Following a previous successful appeal, all arrears owing her from 28 January 2016 issued directly to her on 1 September 2016.
I hope this clarified the matter for the Deputy. If you require any further assistance on this query please do not hesitate to contact my office.
