As a result of an appeals officer’s decision, the person concerned was awarded carer’s allowance on 15 November 2016.

The first payments were issued to her nominated bank account on 24 November 2016.

Arrears of allowance due from 29 October 2015 to 23 November 2016 have also issued.

The person concerned was notified on 15 November 2016 of this decision.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
