Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 June 2017
2032. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of an application for a carer’s allowance by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [27543/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI confirm that my department received an application for carer’s allowance (CA) from the person concerned on 15 February 2017.
The application was referred to a local social welfare inspector (SWI) on 6 May 2017 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 SWI has reported, a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
