Domiciliary care allowance is awarded from the month following receipt of the application unless there was good cause for the delay in applying. Domiciliary care allowance was awarded to the person concerned from 1st July 2013 following receipt of the application in June 2013. Additional information has been provided requesting payment of arrears in this case. The application is currently being reviewed by a Deciding Officer and a decision on the backdating of this claim, will issue to the person concerned when that review is complete.
