Carer’s allowance was awarded to the person concerned on 3 August 2016 and the first payment issued to their nominated bank account on 13 October 2016.

Arrears of allowance due from 4 August 2016 to 5 October 2016 have also issued. The person concerned was notified of these details on 5 October 2016.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
