Question:

Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if the report submitted recently relative to an application for domiciliary care allowance by a person (details supplied) will be considered as a matter of urgency; and if a request for an oral hearing will be expedited.

Written answers

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

This lady was notified on 9 July 2018 that her domiciliary care allowance was awarded on appeal from 1 October 2016. Arrears due for this period will issue on 17 July 2018 along with her July monthly payment.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
