Following an Appeals Officer’s decision, carer's allowance (CA) was awarded to the person concerned on 14 December 2018 with effect from 12 October 2017. Their first payment, along with their 2018 carer’s support grant, issued to their nominated post office on 20 December 2018.
Arrears of CA for the period 12 October 2017 to 19 December 2018 also issued via cheque dated 14 December 2018.
The person concerned was notified of the outcome on 14 December 2018.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
