This gentleman has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 17 May 2017. The first payment will be made to his chosen payment method on 6 December 2017.

If he was in receipt of another social welfare payment, or an increase was paid to another for his benefit, during the period 17 May 2017 to 5 December 2017, the amount of social welfare already paid requires calculation and will be deducted from any arrears due. Arrears of payment due will issue as soon as possible once any necessary adjustment is calculated.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
