Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 July 2018
2545. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if carer's benefit will be awarded to a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34541/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraCarer's benefit (CARB) is a payment made to insured people who leave the workforce to care for a person(s) in need of full-time care and attention.
I confirm that my department received an application for CARB from the person concerned on the 6 July 2018.
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.
