Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 May 2017
142. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the position with regard to an application for carer's allowance by a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25131/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI confirm that my Department received an application for carer’s benefit from the person concerned on 12 January 2017.
Additional information in relation to the person’s application was requested by a deciding officer on 31 January 2017, 4 April 2017 and again on 23 May 2017.
Once the information is received the application will be processed without delay and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
