423. Deputy Duncan Smith asked the Minister for Social Protection when a domiciliary allowance payment, which was submitted on behalf of a person (details supplied) in November 2023, will be awarded to the applicant; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18116/24]
View answerI can confirm that an application for Domiciliary Care Allowance (DCA) from the person concerned was received by my Department on 21 November 2023.
The application was awarded as per decision dated 8 April 2024.
The person was notified of the above decision in writing on 8 April 2024.
As advised in the above decision notification, the DCA payment commenced on 16 April 2024. The payment was made to the person's nominated financial account and included any arrears due.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
