The Carer’s Support Grant (CSG) is paid automatically in June of each year (usually on the first Thursday of the month) to carers, such as the person concerned, who are in receipt of a qualifying payment on the first Thursday in June.

The CSG for the person concerned issued to their nominated bank account on 2 June 2016.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
