The person concerned has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 13 June 2018. The first payment was made by her chosen payment method on 22 August 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 (if applicable).

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
