The Department received notification of an appeal against the decision to disallow domiciliary care allowance (DCA) in this case on 14/09/2017. As part of the appeal process the DCA claim was reviewed by a deciding officer who determined that a revised decision was not warranted. The lady concerned was notified of this decision on 5 December 2017. The application has been forwarded to the Social Welfare Appeals Office for further consideration.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
