612. Deputy Seán Fleming asked the Minister for Social Protection to consider introducing a system whereby people on the carer's allowance can sign off on various weeks, like the system with jobseeker's payments whereby people can mark (X and O) on days they were working so that they do not claim, in view of the fact that people sometimes may get work while on carer's allowance, it may extend beyond the 18.5 hours and they want to not be paid the carer's allowance on that particular week; if there is a simple system that can be introduced to facilitate this both from the Department's point of view and the carer's point of view, where this can occur in some situations and thereby reduce the amount of debts that can build up on people on carer's allowance, which will cause a difficulty in being paid to the Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
