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

This domiciliary care allowance application has been finalised. The lady concerned was notified on 16 April 2018 that domiciliary care allowance has been awarded from 1 March 2018. Arrears due for this period will issue with the first payment on 15 May 2018.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
