The application for carer’s allowance in respect of the person concerned was awarded on 4 July 2016 and the first payment is due to issue to the person’s nominated bank account on 7 July 2016.

Arrears of allowance due from 25 February 2016 have issued to the bank for payment on 7 July 2016.

The person concerned was notified of these details on 4 July 2016.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
