The application for carer’s allowance in respect of the person concerned was awarded on 15 June 2016 and the first payment is due to issue to the person’s nominated bank account on 23 June 2016.

Arrears of allowance due from 3 December 2015 have also issued to the bank.

The person concerned was notified of these details on 15 June 2016.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
