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 post office on 14 July 2016.

Arrears of allowance due from 4 February 2016 have issued by cheque. The person concerned was notified of these details on 4 July 2016.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
