An application for domiciliary care allowance (DCA) was received from the person concerned on the 10th September 2012. The application has been forwarded to one of the Department’s Medical Assessors for their medical opinion. Upon receipt of this opinion, a decision will issue to the customer.
It can currently take up to 8 weeks to process a DCA application.
