I confirm that my Department received an application for carer's allowance from the person concerned on 4 September 2017.

The application was awarded to the person concerned on 1 November 2017 and the first payment will issue to her nominated bank account on 9 November 2017.

Arrears of allowance due from 7 September 2017 to 8 November 2017 will also issue.

The person concerned was notified on 1 November 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 .
