The person concerned has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 23 October 2013. The first payment will be made to the person in question by her chosen payment method on 25 February 2014.
The person in question was in receipt of another social welfare payment during the period 23 October 2013 to date. Consequently, the amount of social welfare already paid requires to be calculated and deducted from any arrears of disability allowance due. Any residual arrears due will be paid to the person in question shortly after the first payment issues.
