Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 24 November 2022
258. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection if a decision has been made on an application for a carer’s allowance by a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [58620/22]
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.
An application for CA was received from the person concerned on 10 November 2022.
Additional information in relation to the person’s application was requested by a Deciding Officer (DO) on 18 November 2022.
Once the requested information is received, the application will be processed without delay and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
