The person concerned was notified on the 23rd September 2016 that her domiciliary care allowance has been awarded from 1st March 2016. Prior to the issuing of payment, along with any arrears due, her file has been forwarded to the debt recovery area of the Department in order to arrange for the recovery of an existing overpayment. This section will be in contact with the person concerned to finalise arrangements.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
