The lady referred to has been awarded the personal rate of invalidity pension (IP) with effect from 11 February 2016. Payment will issue to her nominated bank account on the 03 November 2016 and she was notified of this decision on the 14 October 2016.
She has claimed an increase for a qualified adult (IQA), qualified child(ren) (IQC) and the fuel allowance. On the 13 October 2016, further information was requested in order to assess eligibility for the IQA, IQC and fuel allowance. As soon as this information has been received, she will be notified with regard to her entitlement to these allowances.
Any arrears due from 11 February 2016 to 02 November 2016 (less any overlapping social welfare payment and/or outstanding overpayment) will issue in due course.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
