Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection

An application for domiciliary care allowance (DCA) was received from this lady on 1 February 2018. Applications received in late January early February 2018 are currently being finalised. The application will be considered by a deciding officer and the decision notified as soon as possible.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.

Question No. 1481 withdrawn.
