Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 27 October 2022
240. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection if a decision has been made on an application for the carer's support grant by a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [54070/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Carer's Support Grant (CSG) is an annual payment for carers who look after a person in need of full-time care and attention. The payment is made regardless of the carer's means but is subject to certain conditions.
I can confirm that, according to the records of this Department, no application form for a CSG has been received from the person concerned. An application form (CSG1) has been posted to the person concerned today. When the completed application form has been returned, a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified of the outcome in writing.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
