An application for domiciliary care allowance was received by the Department on 27 th April 2010. This application together with medical reports has been forwarded to one of the Department's Medical Assessors for a medical opinion on the case. Upon receipt of the opinion a decision will issue to the customer. Currently it takes some eight weeks to process an application for this allowance.
