Domiciliary Care Allowance is a monthly payment for a child aged under 16 with a severe disability. The child must need ongoing care and attention substantially over and above that usually needed by a child of the same age. It is not means tested.
The person concerned was notified on the 4th December 2021 that their Domiciliary Care Allowance has been awarded on appeal from the 1st October 2020. Arrears due for this period will issue with the December payment on the 21st December 2021.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
