Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 12 July 2017
433. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Social Protection when a decision will be made on a carer's allowance application by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33426/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI confirm that my Department received an application for carer’s allowance (CA) from the person concerned on 30 March 2017.
The application was referred to a local social welfare inspector (SWI) on 23 June 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.
