Welfare have appeals and complaints processes if you are not happy with how your claim/query has been dealt with. Use them if necessary.14. What happens if I do not apply in time?
If you applied for Carer's Allowance after you thought you may have qualified for it, you may be entitled to have the payment backdated in certain cases.
Also, you may request a review of your application or award if you:
- failed to apply because you got incorrect or insufficient information from an officer of this Department,
- delayed applying due to a 'force majeure'- a major event or situation that made it impossible for you to apply at the time,
- delayed because you were sick, or
- experienced extreme financial difficulties that you could not clear from your current funds or from a combination of your current funds and any arrears of the Carer's Allowance paid to you.
