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

The CSG for the person concerned were issued to their nominated post office on 2 June 2016 and 9 June 2016 in respect of two care recipients.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
