An application for domiciliary care allowance (DCA) was received on the 18th January 2013 from the person concerned. This application has been forwarded to one of the Department’s Medical Assessors for their medical opinion. Upon receipt of this opinion, a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified. It can currently take up to 8 weeks to process an application for DCA.
