Carer’s allowance was awarded to the person concerned on 17 September 2016 and the first payment is due to issue to their nominated bank account on 6 October 2016.

Arrears of allowance due from 28 April 2016 to 5 October will issue shortly.

The person concerned was notified of these details on 17 September 2016.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
