The person concerned has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 2 December 2015. The first payment was issued by his selected payment method on 13 July 2016.

Arrears of payment due for the period 2 December 2015 to 12 July 2016 were issued to the person in question, by his chosen payment method, on 22 August 2016.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
