The person concerned was awarded disability allowance with effect from 20 May 2015. The first payment was made by his selected payment method on 5 August 2015.

Following a successful appeal in relation to the backdating of his claim, disability allowance has been awarded with effect from 8 October 2014. Arrears due to the person in question will issue shortly once any necessary adjustment has been made in respect of an overlapping social welfare payment and/or any outstanding debt (where relevant).
