An application for Domiciliary Care Allowance was received from person concerned on the 16th October 2018.  The case has been referred to the Department's team of Medical Assessors for a medical opinion.  When the medical opinion is to hand the claim will be passed to a Deciding Officer for a decision.  Once this decision has been made the person concerned will be notified of the outcome in writing.

It is currently taking approximately ten weeks to process an application for Domiciliary Care Allowance.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
