The person concerned has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 27 February 2019. The first payment will be made by his chosen payment method on 30 October 2019. They were notified of this decision in writing on 11 October 2019.

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.
