Although Planck data supports the standard ACDM model, it still allows for the presence of Dark Radiation corresponding up to about half an extra standard neutrino species. We propose a scenario for obtaining a fractional effective neutrino species from a thermally produced particle which decays into a much lighter stable relic plus standard fermions. At lifetimes much longer than similar to 1 s, both the relic particles and the non-thermal neutrino component contribute to Dark Radiation. By increasing the stableto-unstable particle mass ratio, the relic particle no longer acts as Dark Radiation but instead becomes a candidate for Warm Dark Matter with mass O(1 keV-100 GeV). In both cases it is possible to address the lithium problem. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
