Carer'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 6 September 2017.
The evidence submitted in support of this application was examined and the deciding officer decided that although a certain level of care was being provided the level involved did not amount to full-time care.
The person concerned requested a review of that decision on 10 February 2018.
This review is currently underway and once complete the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
