All applications for Domiciliary Care Allowance (DCA) are processed centrally and are dealt with in order of date of receipt. Statistical information on DCA applications is not routinely collated on a county basis; as a result the numbers awaiting a decision in each county is not available.
At the end of June 2020, there were a total of 725 DCA applications awaiting a decision.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
