An application for domiciliary care allowance (DCA) was received from this lady on 8 March 2017. The application will be considered by a Deciding Officer and the decision notified as soon as possible. It can currently take approximately 16 weeks to process an application for DCA.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
