The gentleman referred to has been awarded invalidity pension with effect from 08 November 2018.

Payment will issue to his nominated post office on 10 January 2019. Any arrears due from 08 November 2018 to 09 January 2019, less any overlapping social welfare payment, will issue as soon as possible. The gentleman in question was notified of this decision on 12 December 2018.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
