Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 May 2017
308. Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Social Protection when a decision will issue to a person (details supplied) regarding a domiciliary care allowance; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24004/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn application for domiciliary care allowance (DCA) was received from this lady on 10 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 16 weeks to process an application for DCA.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
