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 an application for Carer's Allowance (CA) review from the person concerned on 6 December 2022. Additional information in relation to the person’s application was requested by a Deciding Officer (DO) on 2 February 2023.
Once the information is received the application will be processed without delay and the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
My Department also received an application for Carer's Allowance (CA) for a second care recipient on 30 January 2023. Additional information in relation to the person’s application was requested by a Deciding Officer (DO) on 1 February 2023.
Once the 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.
