Before filling in the application form, please take a little time to read this section. When we deal with an application for Carer's Allowance, we may have to assess the position of up to 3 people (the carer, their spouse, civil partner or cohabitant and the person being cared for). We have to work out the income of you and your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant to assess means. We must also examine the medical condition of the person being cared for to decide if they need full-time care and attention. In addition, we must be satisfied that you, the carer, are providing full-time care and attention and are able to do so. This means that the application form must ask for a lot of detailed information from you. Before you begin filling in the application form and send it to us, you should read carefully and follow the instructions at the front of the form. You should read the checklist on part 9 of the form carefully to make sure you have completed all the questions and have all the necessary certificates and documents. Application for a second person being cared for If you already get Carer's Allowance and are now applying for a higher allowance because you are caring for a second person, you do not need to send in certificates again. In this case, complete the application form ( CR 1) in full and write clearly across the top of the application form, " Application for a second person - no certificates attached". All other supporting documentation must be submitted with your application e.g. statements from financial institution, payslips etc. The application form is divided into the following parts. Part 1 deals with your personal details. Part 2 deals with your work and claim details including your means. You must declare all means from any source, whether property, capital or income, for example rental income from a property or a person lodging with you. If you fail to do so, you could get a higher allowance than you are entitled to. You may be bound by law to repay any overpayment that results. Please sign the declaration when the form is completed. If your means change after you have been awarded Carer's Allowance, you must report this at once to us in the Department. Part 3 deals with the Habitual Residence Condition. Part 4 lists the two possible payment options for Carer’s Allowance. Part 5 deals with your qualified children(s) details. Part 6 deals with your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant’s details. Part 7 deals with your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant’s work and claim details including their means. Part 8 covers details of the person or people you are caring for. Part 9 is the checklist you should refer to before submitting your application. Part 10 deals with the medical certification for the person or people being cared for. If you are caring for a person under age 16 and are getting Domiciliary Care Allowance, you do not need to send a medical report at this stage. Remember to include all relevant certificates and documents with your application. Note: If you care for more than 1 person please complete CR2 form in respect of that person. If you care for more than 2 people, please let us know as you may receive a Respite Care Grant for them. You should fill in the CR2 form and send it to the address in Section 13. You can get a CR2 form at /EN/Forms/Documents/cr2.pdf or from your local social welfare office.

Sula líonfaidh tú an fhoirm iarratais, tóg beagáinín ama chun an mhír seo a léamh, le do thoil. Agus sinn ag plé le hiarratas ar Liúntas Cúramóra, is féidir go mbeidh orainn measúnú a dhéanamh ar an riocht ina bhfuil suas le triúr (an cúramóir, céile/páirtnéir sibhialta/ 16 comhchónaitheoir an chúramóra agus an duine dá dtugtar aire). Caithfimid d’ioncam agus ioncam do chéile, do pháirtnéara shibhialta nó do chomhchónaitheora a ríomh chun an acmhainn a mheasúnú. Chomh maith leis sin, caithfimid scrúdú a dhéanamh ar riocht sláinte an duine dá dtugtar aire chun gur féidir linn cinneadh a dhéanamh an bhfuil gá aige/aici le cúram agus aire lánaimseartha. Thairis sin, caithfear gur deimhin linn go gcuireann tú, an cúramóir, cúram agus aire lánaimseartha ar fáil agus go bhfuil ar do chumas é a dhéanamh. Dá bhrí sin tá a lán eolais mhionsonraithe á lorg uait san fhoirm iarratais. Roimh duit cromadh ar an bhfoirm iarratais a líonadh agus a chur chugainn, ba chóir duit na treoracha i dtosach na foirme a léamh go haireach agus iad a leanúint. Ba chóir duit an seicliosta i gcuid 9 den bhfhoirm a léamh go haireach chun a chinntiú go bhfuil na ceisteanna go léir freagartha agat agus go bhfuil na teastais agus na cáipéisí go léir is gá agat. Iarratas i leith an dara duine dá dtugtar aire Má fhaigheann tú an Liúntas Cúramóra cheana agus má tá iarratas á dhéanamh agat anois ar liúntas níos mó toisc go dtugann tú aire don dara duine, ní gá duit do theastais a chur chugainn arís. Más mar sin é, líon an fhoirm iarratais (CR 1) ina hiomláine agus scríobh go soiléir ar bharr na foirme iarratais: “Iarratas i leith an dara duine - níl teastais faoi iamh”. Ní mór na cáipéisí tacaíochta eile go léir a chur isteach i dteannta d’iarratais, mar shampla ráitis ó institiúid airgeadais, duillíní pá srl. Tá an fhoirm iarratais roinnte sna codanna seo a leanas. Cuid 1: Baineann an chuid seo le do shonraí pearsanta. Cuid 2: Baineann an chuid seo leis na sonraí de d’obair agus de d’éileamh, agus d’acmhainn san áireamh. Ní mór duit an acmhainn uile ó gach foinse a lua, cibé acu maoin, caipiteal nó ioncam, mar shampla ioncam as cíos ó mhaoin nó ó dhuine atá ina lóistéir i do theach. Mura ndéanfá amhlaidh, d’fhéadfaí liúntas a thabhairt duit a bheadh ní ba mhó ná mar a bheifeá i dteideal a fháil. D’fhéadfadh ceangal a bheith ort de réir dlí aon ró-íocaíocht a thabharfaí duit dá thoradh a aisíoc. Sínigh an dearbhú, le do thoil, nuair a bheidh an fhoirm líonta agat. Má thagann athrú ar do chuid acmhainne tar éis an Liúntas Cúramóra a bheith bronnta ort, caithfidh tú é seo a chur in iúl dúinn sa Roinn láithreach. Cuid 3:Baineann an chuid seo leis an gCoinníoll Gnáthchónaithe. Cuid 4: Tugann an chuid seo liosta den dá rogha íocaíochta is féidir a dhéanamh maidir leis an Liúntas Cúramóra. Cuid 5: Baineann an chuid seo leis na sonraí de do leanbh nó do leanaí cáilithe. Cuid 6: Baineann an chuid seo leis na sonraí de do chéile, do pháirtnéir sibhialta nó do chomhchónaitheoir. Cuid 7: Baineann an chuid seo leis na sonraí d’obair agus d’éileamh do chéile, do pháirtnéara shibhialta nó do chomhchónaitheora, agus a (h)acmhainn san áireamh. Cuid 8: Cumhdaíonn an chuid seo na sonraí den duine nó de na daoine dá dtugann tú aire. Cuid 9: Seo an seicliosta ba chóir duit a léamh roimh duit d’iarratas a chur isteach. Cuid 10: Baineann an chuid seo leis na teastais dochtúra don duine nó do na daoine dá dtugtar aire. Má thugann tú aire do dhuine atá faoi bhun 16 bliana d’aois agus má fhaigheann tú Liúntas Cúraim Bhaile, ní gá duit tuairisc dhochtúra a chur chugainn ag an bpointe seo. Cuimhnigh ar gach teastas agus gach cáipéis a bhaineann le hábhar a chur faoi iamh le d’iarratas. Nóta Má thugann tú aire do bhreis agus duine, líon foirm CR2 i leith an duine sin, le do thoil. Má thugann tú aire do bhreis agus beirt, cuir in iúl dúinn é, le do thoil, mar is féidir go bhfaighidh tú Deontas Cúraim Fhaoisimh ina leith. Ba chóir duit foirm CR2 a líonadh agus í a chur chuig an seoladh ar leathanach 15. Is féidir leat foirm CR2 a fháil ar www.welfare.ie nó ó d’oifig leasa shóisialaigh áitiúil.
