329. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection her plans to ensure that no delays are made in the processing of the payment of a domiciliary care allowance and all subsequent arrears to a person (details supplied) following a decision of the social welfare appeals office upholding the appeal made by the person; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

This lady was notified by the Social Welfare Appeals Office (SWAO) on 26 June 2018 that her domiciliary care allowance was awarded on appeal.

Once the administrative procedures have been completed, a decision letter will issue by post notifying her of the date of award of DCA and when payment will issue. Payment of all arrears due will issue along with her first payment.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
