The person concerned has been awarded invalidity pension with effect from the 15 October 2015. Payment will issue to her nominated bank account on the 16 June 2016. Any arrears due from the 15 October 2015 to the 15 June 2016 (less any overlapping social welfare payment and/or outstanding overpayment) will issue in due course. The person in question was notified of this decision on the 31 May 2016.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
