Carer’s allowance was awarded to the person concerned on 4 May 2017 and the first payment is due to issue to her bank account on 11 May 2017.

Arrears of allowance due from 9 February to 10 May 2017 will also issue to her bank account.

The person concerned was notified of these details on 4 May 2017.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
