The person concerned applied for domiciliary care allowance in respect of three children on 17th November 2014. These applications have been forwarded to one of the Department’s Medical Assessors for their medical opinion. Following receipt of these opinions, a decision will be made in respect of each application by a Deciding Officer and notified to the person concerned. It can currently take 10 weeks to process an application for DCA.
