An application for carer's allowance (CA) was received from the person concerned on 5 July 2016.
The application was awarded to the person concerned on 12 September 2016 and the first payment will issue to their nominated bank account on 15 September 2016.
Arrears of allowance due from 7 July 2016 to 14 September 2016 will also issue.
The person concerned was notified on 12 September 2016 of this decision, the reason for it and of her right of review and appeal.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
