The application by the person concerned for carer’s allowance (CA) was awarded to her on 13 July 2016 and the first payment will issue to her nominated bank account on 21 July 2016.

Arrears of allowance due from 4 February 2016 to 20 July 2016 will issue shortly.

The person concerned was notified on 13 July 2016 of this decision, the reason for it and of her right of review and appeal.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
