Written answers

An application for Carer's allowance (CA) in respect of two care recipients was received from the person concerned on 2 December 2020.

The application was awarded to the person concerned on 27 January 2021 and the first payment will issue to her nominated bank account on 03 February 2021. 

Arrears of allowance due from 07 Jan 2021 to 02 February 2021 will also issue.

The person concerned was notified on 27 January 2021 of this decision, the reason for it and of her right of review and appeal.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
