As a result of an appeals officer’s decision, carer’s allowance was awarded to the person concerned on 5 December 2016 and the first payment will issue to her nominated bank account on 8 December 2016. Arrears for the period 3 December 2015 to 7 December 2016 have also issued.

The person concerned was notified on 5 December 2016 of the outcome.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
