Following a successful appeal, the person concerned has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 17 May 2017. The first payment will be made by his chosen payment method on 31 January 2018.

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.
