Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 October 2024
508. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection if a decision has been made on an application for a carer’s support grant by a person in County Kerry (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [42745/24]
View answerI confirm that my Department received an application for the Carer’s Support Grant (CSG) from the person concerned on the 7th October 2024.
The person was awarded standalone CSG for the year 2023 in the amount of €1,850 as well as the 2023 cost-of-living payment in the amount of €400. CSG in the amount of €1,850 was also awarded for 2024 with their Carer's Allowance claim. Payment of €4,100 will be paid to the person's nominated bank account shortly. Notification of this decision issued to the person concerned on 16 October, 2024.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
