Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 November 2022
459. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection when a decision will be made on an application for carer’s allowance in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [57867/22]
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 child or an adult who has such a disability that as a result they require that level of care.
The person concerned was awarded full rate CA from 27 October 2022. Payment will issue to the person’s nominated bank account on 24 November 2022. Arrears of allowance due from 27 October 2022 to 23 November 2022 will issue shortly.
The person concerned was notified on 17 November 2022 of this decision, the reason for it and of their right of review and appeal.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
