I applied for a carers allowance 7 weeks ago , my husband had 2 strokes, and was appproved for disability allowance. I have been in contact with sw in Longford, and their reply is always "It's with the inspector" How long does the process take normally ????
It was great..... Particularly as I was due over a thousand euro in back payment!....
Sorry, I'd my date wrong... I got the cheque for the backdated payment on the Christmas Eve... The link here might help you with your timescale query...
My wife applied as I am on invalidity pension.. She got a refusal and appealed.. It is now between offices and she is awaiting an oral hering "Which may take some time to arrange" they say due to backlog..
Oh
By the way
She applied in August 2008
