An application for domiciliary care allowance was received from this lady on the 29th March 2017. This lady was notified on 30 August 2017 that her domiciliary care allowance claim has been awarded from 1 October 2016. The first payment of the allowance, along with arrears due will issue on 19 September 2017.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
