The person concerned has been in receipt of carer’s allowance (CA) for one care recipient since 31 January 2013.

An application by the person concerned for CA in respect of a second carer recipient was awarded on 4 July 2016.

The first payment of CA at the higher rate of payment was issued to the person’s nominated bank account on 7 July 2016.

Arrears of allowance due from 3 December 2015 to 6 July 2016 have also issued to their bank account.

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

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
