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 child or an adult who has such a disability that as a result they require that level of care.
I confirm that my Department received applications for CA from the person concerned on 12 June 2018 in respect of two care recipients.
Additional information was requested on 7 September 2018, however, while some of the documents requested were returned, others remain outstanding.
On 24 September 2018 a second information request issued.
Once this information is received the application will be processed without delay and the person concerned notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
