This gentleman has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 20 September 2017. The first payment will be made by his chosen payment method on 20 December 2017. Arrears of payment due will issue as soon as possible once any necessary adjustment is calculated and applied in respect of any overlapping payments or in respect of any outstanding overpayments (if applicable).

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
