An application for domiciliary care allowance for the child concerned was received by the Department on 28 th April 2010. This application, together with the medical reports supplied, have been forwarded to one of the Department's Medical Assessors for their medical opinion on the case. Upon receipt of the Medical Assessor's opinion a decision will be made and issue to the customer. Currently it takes around eight weeks to process an application for domiciliary care allowance.
