Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 April 2017
360. Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of an application for a domiciliary care allowance by a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16311/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn application for domiciliary care allowance (DCA) was received from this lady on the 22nd February 2017. The application will be considered by a Deciding Officer and the decision notified as soon as possible. Applications are processed in date of receipt order; it can currently take 14 weeks to process an application for DCA.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
