The person concerned has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 5 December 2018. The first payment was made by her chosen payment method on 13 February 2019.

Arrears of payment due have been calculated taking account of overlapping payments and have issued to the person concerned on 12 April 2019.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
