Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 January 2018
177. Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the position in relation to an application for a carer’s allowance by a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [3637/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraCarer's allowance (CA) is a means-tested social assistance payment made to a person who is habitually resident in the State and who is providing full-time care and attention to a person who has such a disability that they require that level of care.
An application for CA was received from the person concerned on 29 November 2017. 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.
