The gentleman referred to has been awarded invalidity pension at the maximum weekly personal rate with effect from 14 February 2019. He was notified of this decision on 29 January 2020 and first payment issued to his nominated post office on 13 February 2020. Arrears due from 14 February 2019 to 12 February 2020, less overlapping illness benefit payments issued to him on 05 March 2020.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
