The person concerned has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 18 April 2018. The first payment was made on 21 November 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.
