An application for carer’s allowance (CA) was received from the person concerned on 20 July 2018. 

The application was awarded to the person concerned on 7 January 2019 with effect from 2 November 2017 and the first payment for 3 January 2019 issued to her nominated bank account on 10 January 2019.

Arrears of carers allowance due from 2 November 2017 to 2 January 2019 will issue to the bank account of the person concerned on 7 March 2019.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
