446. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if an application for a carer's allowance submitted in the name of a person (details supplied) was received; when a final determination will be made on same; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [19876/18]
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 13 September 2017.
Additional information in relation to the person’s means which was not submitted with the application as is required, has been requested by a deciding officer on 1 May 2018.
Once the information is received the application will be processed without delay and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
