Carer’s allowance was awarded to the person concerned on 5 April 2017 and the first payment is due to issue to their nominated post office on 13 April 2017.

Arrears of allowance due from 15 December 2016 to 12 April 2017 will also issue to the post office.

The person concerned was notified of these details on 5 April 2017.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
