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.

An application for CA was received from the person concerned on 13 September 2022.

The application is currently being processed and once completed, the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.

I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
