Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 July 2015
41. Deputy Paul J. Connaughton asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection when a decision will be made on an application for a carer's allowance in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Galway; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26692/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraI confirm that the department received an application for carer’s allowance from the person concerned on 4 June 2015. To qualify the carer must live with or be in a position to provide full-time care and attention (FTCA) to a person who requires FTCA. The carer must also satisfy a means test.
The application from the person concerned is currently being processed and once these conditions have been investigated, the person concerned will be notified directly of the outcome.
