My department received an application for carers allowance (CA) from the person concerned on 12 December 2016.

The maximum rate of CA was awarded to him on 27 February 2017 and first payment issued to his nominated post office on 16 March 2017.

Arrears of allowance due from to 15 December 2016 to 15 March 2017 issued on 6 April 2017.

The person concerned was notified on 27 February 2017 of this decision, the reason for it and of his right of review and appeal.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
