My department informs me that it has been unable to determine whether there is an application from the person concerned as the PPS Number provided does not correspond with the name provided and there are no other details supplied to allow the correct number to be traced.
If your office contacts my department with the correct PPS Number and/or address details, I will be happy to give you an update on the case.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the deputy.

An application for carer's allowance (CA) was received from the person concerned on 5 October 2016.
The application was awarded to the person concerned on 17 October 2016 and the first payment will issue to her nominated post office on 20 October 2016. Arrears for the period 6 October 2016 to 19 October 2016 have also issued.
The person concerned was notified on 17 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.
