Social Welfare Benefits
Dail Éireann — 2025-02-27
============================================================

Michael Cahill (FF), Kerry

Following budget 2025, the carer's allowance income disregard will be increased to €625 for a single person and €1,250 for a couple from July 2025. How many additional carers are now likely to qualify on the basis of this change? Does the Minister intend to increase the disregard year on year, over five budgets?
