524. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the status of an application for a domiciliary care allowance by a person (details supplied); if she will request that every effort is made by the disability allowance section to process this application before Christmas 2017 to provide financial assistance to the family; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

An application for domiciliary care allowance was received from this lady in respect of her two children on 26 September 2017. She was notified on 7 December 2017 that her domiciliary care allowance claim has been awarded for her son.

Further additional information in relation to her daughter’s care needs has been received and will now be considered before a decision is made in her case. She will be notified in writing when a decision is made on this claim.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
