An application for carer’s benefit was received from the person concerned on 6 July 2017.

The application was awarded to the person concerned on 6 September 2017, with effect from 20 July 2017 when her carer’s leave commenced and the first payment will issue to the her nominated bank account on 14 September 2017.

Arrears of benefit due from 20 July 2017 to 13 September 2017 will also issue to her bank on 14 September 2017.

The person concerned was notified of the decision on 6 September 2017.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
