The application for carer’s allowance (CA) in respect of the person concerned was awarded on 6 February 2017 in respect of two care recipients.

The first payment of CA is due to issue to her nominated bank account on 9 February 2017.

Arrears of allowance due from 22 September 2016 to 8 February 2017 have issued to the bank.

The person concerned was notified of these details on 6 February 2017.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
