An application for carer's allowance (CA) was received from the person concerned on 30 October 2015. As a result of an appeals officer’s decision, the application was awarded to the person concerned on 9 November 2016 and the first payment will issue to her nominated post office on 17 November 2016. Arrears for the period 5 November 2015 to 9 November 2016 have issued by cheque.

The person concerned was notified on 9 November 2016 of this decision.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
