As a result of an appeals officer’s decision, carer's allowance was awarded to the person concerned on 26 January 2017 and the first payment will issue to her nominated Post Office on 2 February 2017. Arrears due for the period 3 September 2015 to 1 February 2017 will issue shortly.

The person concerned was notified on 26 January 2017 of the outcome.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
