Domiciliary Care Allowance decision reviews are currently taking approximately 12 weeks to process.

Processing times can vary depending on the volume of reviews received, availability of resources and complexity of individual cases. All of these factors are continuously monitored to ensure a timely service to customers.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
