Minister of State at the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection

An application for Domiciliary Care Allowance (DCA) was received from this lady on the 1st February 2018. Applications received in early January 2018 are currently being finalised. The application will be considered by a deciding officer and the decision notified as soon as possible.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
