The person concerned has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 18 July 2018. The first payment will be made by her chosen payment method on 3 October 2018.

Arrears of payment due will issue once any necessary adjustment is calculated and applied in respect of any other social welfare payments received since 18 July.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
