The gentleman referred to has been awarded invalidity pension with effect from the 28 July 2016. Payment will issue to his nominated bank account on the 24 November 2016. Any arrears due from 28 July 2016 to 23 November 2016 (less any overlapping social welfare payment and/or outstanding overpayment) will issue in due course. The gentleman in question was notified of this decision on the 08 November 2016.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
