The person concerned was notified on the 22nd April 2016 that her domiciliary care allowance application was successful and that the allowance has been awarded from 1st February 2016. The first payment of the allowance, along with arrears due, will issue on 17th May 2016.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
