Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 May 2017
187. Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Social Protection when an application for a domiciliary allowance will be processed for a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20943/17]
View answerAn application for domiciliary care allowance (DCA) was received from this lady on the 22nd February 2017. The application will be examined by a Deciding Officer and the decision notified as soon as possible. Applications are processed in date of receipt order; it can currently take 15 weeks to process an application for DCA.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
