The number of applicants for DCA that were received, awarded and refused in the last three months is set out in the table.

The Deputy should note that as it can currently take up to 8 weeks to process an application the number of applications processed in any month does not correspond with the number of applications received in the particular month. Statistics on further requests and refusals of claims processed in the period are not available.
