An application for carer's allowance (CA) was received from the person concerned on 24 January 2017.

The application was awarded to the person concerned on 23 March 2017 and the first payment issued to their nominated post office on 30 March 2017.

Arrears of allowance due from 27 January 2017 to 29 March 2017 have also issued.

The person concerned was notified on 23 March 2017 of this decision, the reason for it and of her right of review and appeal.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
