The person in question was awarded an increase for a qualified adult (IQA) at a reduced rate from the 28 July 2016 to the 12 September 2016. Payment including arrears, issued to her nominated bank account on 6 October 2016. The person in question has requested backdated payment of IQA to August 2015. This request is currently being assessed. On completion of assessment, the person in question will be notified directly of the decision.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
