481. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the progress to date in relation to an application for a domiciliary care allowance in the case of a person (details supplied); when the application will be brought to a conclusion; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraThis domiciliary care allowance application has been finalised. The person concerned was notified in a letter dated 13th January 2021 that domiciliary care allowance has been awarded from 1st June 2020. This includes a back-dating payment for the maximum six months allowable in respect of the months June to November 2020. Arrears due for this period issued with the January 2021 payment on the 19th January 2021.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
