An application for carer's allowance was received from the person concerned on 27 November 2017 in respect of two care recipients.

The application was awarded to the person concerned on 8 March 2018 and the first payment is due to issue to their nominated bank account on 29 March 2018.

Arrears of allowance due from 30 November 2017 to 28 March 2018 will issue in shortly.

The person concerned was notified on 8 March 2018 of this decision, the reason for it and of her right of review and appeal.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
