I will put a few questions on a variety of issues that have not been picked up on by other members so far. In the domiciliary care allowance application process, an applicant now sets out his or her case. It is not the old type of form where an applicant would tick a box beside "Domiciliary Care Allowance" and everyone got it. This was done to improve it, make it more user friendly and whatever. Did I correctly hear Mr. McKeon state that the Department was moving towards the same method for the carer's allowance application form?
