Minister of State at the Department of Social Protection

The lady concerned lodged an appeal on her domiciliary care allowance claim (DCA) on the 5th September 2016. The DCA application file, together with the additional information she supplied was forwarded to the Social Welfare Appeals Office on the 19th October 2016 for their consideration. The Social Welfare Appeal Office will be in contact with her in due course. I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
