Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 July 2017
610. Deputy Pat Breen asked the Minister for Social Protection when an application for domiciliary allowance by a person (details supplied) will be processed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [31488/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn application for domiciliary care allowance (DCA) was received from the person concerned on the 10th February 2017. Due to the increased volume of applications currently being received, it can currently take in excess of 20 weeks to process an application for DCA. The application will be examined by a Deciding Officer shortly and the decision notified as soon as possible.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
