Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 March 2018
254. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and 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. [10541/18]
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.
I confirm that my department received an application for carer’s allowance (CA) from the person concerned on the 22 November 2017.
Additional information was requested from the person concerned on 27 February 2018. Once the information is received the application will be processed without delay and she will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
