This domiciliary care allowance application has been finalised. The lady concerned was notified on 16 April 2018 that domiciliary care allowance has been awarded from 1 March 2018. Arrears due for this period will issue with the first payment on 15 May 2018.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
