Hi I'm the same as you, I've applied back in feb for carers and have rang the carers in Longford and have been told it's between 9/10months per application, so of I was you I'd give carers a ring the s/w are no help. Carers no is 0433340000 best of luck, and also if your uncle has had any more problems since you sent in your application send that in straight away cos all information will help your case.
