Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 May 2017
285. Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Social Protection the status of a domiciliary care allowance application by a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25536/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThis lady made applications on 15 March 2017 and on 29 March 2017 for domiciliary care allowance (DCA) in respect of her two sons. The applications will be considered by a Deciding Officer and the decision notified as soon as possible. It can currently take approximately 16 weeks to process an application for DCA.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
