Carer’s allowance was awarded to the person concerned on 26 January 2017 and she was notified on that date.
Arrears of allowance due from 27 October 2016 to 8 February 2017 have issued to the person’s nominated post office on 9 February 2017. The person concerned was notified of these details on 9 February 2017.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
