I confirm that my department received an application for carer’s allowance (CA) from the person concerned on 27 June 2017.

The application was awarded to the person concerned on 4 September 2017 and the first payment will issue to his nominated bank account on 26 September 2017.

Arrears of allowance due from 29 June 2017 to 25 September 2017 will issue shortly.

The person concerned was notified on 4 September 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.
