The application for carer’s allowance in respect of the person concerned was awarded on 16 June 2016 and the first payment is due to issue to the person’s nominated post office on 23 June 2016.

Arrears of allowance due from 7 January 2016 have issued to the post office for payment on 23 June 2016.

The person concerned was notified of these details on 16 June 2016.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
