The gentleman referred to has been awarded invalidity pension with effect from 23 February 2017. Payment will issue to his nominated bank account on 20 April 2017. Any arrears due from 23 February 2017 to 19 April 2017 (less any overlapping social welfare payment and/or outstanding overpayment) will issue in due course. The gentleman in question was notified of this decision on 3 April 2017.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
