This lady made applications on 15 March 2017 and on 29 March 2017 for domiciliary care allowance (DCA) in respect of her two sons. The applications 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.
