An application for carer s allowance (CA) was received from the person concerned on 5 January 2016.

As a result of an appeals officer's decision, CA 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 for the period 7 January 2016 to 1 February 2017 will issue shortly.

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

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
