Following the submission of further medical evidence by the person concerned, the case has been reviewed and disability allowance awarded with effect from 23 August 2017. The first payment will be made on 14 February 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.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
