Carer’s allowance was awarded to the person concerned from 5 May 2016. The first payment is expected to issue to their nominated bank account on 20 July 2017.

Arrears of allowance due from 5 May 2016 to 19 July 2017 will also issue on that date. The person concerned was notified on 11 July 2017.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
