The person concerned has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 17 February 2016. The first payment was made by her chosen payment method on 1 June 2016.Arrears of payment due will issue as soon as possible once any necessary adjustment is calculated and applied in respect of any overlapping payments or in respect of outstanding overpayments (if applicable).

I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
