An application for carer's allowance (CA) was received from the person concerned on 5 August 2016.

The application was awarded to the person concerned on 14 October 2016 and the first payment will issue to their nominated post office on 20 October 2016.

Arrears of allowance due from 30 June 2016 to 19 October 2016 have also issued.

The person concerned was notified on 14 October 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.
