In this article, we consider a defect-correction method based on finite difference scheme for solving a singularly perturbed delay differential equation. We solve the equation using upwind finite difference scheme on piecewise-uniform Shishkin mesh, then apply the defect-correction technique that combines the stability of the upwind scheme and the higher-order central difference scheme. The method is shown to be convergent uniformly in the perturbation parameter and almost second-order convergence measured in the discrete maximum norm is obtained. Numerical results are presented, which are in agreement with the theoretical findings.
