An application for domiciliary care allowance (DCA) was received in respect of this child on the 10th November 2016. The application will be consider by a Deciding Officer and the decision notified to the applicant as soon as possible. Applications are processed in date of receipt order and it can currently take up to 14 weeks from date of receipt to process an application for DCA.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
