Questions (210)

Pearse Doherty

Question:

210. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Social Protection when a decision on an application for a domiciliary care allowance by a person (details supplied) will be made; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [29305/17]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Social Protection

An application for domiciliary care allowance (DCA) was received from the person concerned on the 29th March 2017. The application will be examined by a Deciding Officer and the decision notified as soon as possible. Applications are processed in date of receipt order. Due to the increased volume of applications currently being received, it can currently take 18 weeks to process an application for DCA.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
