My daughter was recently diagnosed with ADHD. Are we entitled to Domcillary Care Allowance or a Carers Allowance?

Any info appreciated.
 
It will depend on the level of care required, and also what age your daughter is. Domicilliary Care Allowance is paid in respect those under 16, Carers Allowance for over 16. Domicilliary Care Allowance is not means tested, but Carer's Allowance is.

Check out the details of the schemes and if you have any other questions then post them.

If you have PRSI stamps, then you may be eligible for Carer's Benefit instead of Carer's Allowance. http://www.welfare.ie/EN/Schemes/IllnessDisabilityAndCaring/Carers/CarersBenefit/Pages/carb.aspx
