Amharc ar fhreagraThe application for carer's allowance in respect of the person concerned was awarded on 19 January 2017 and the first payment is due to issue to the person's nominated post office on 9 February 2017.
Arrears of allowance due from 30 June 2016 to 8 February 2017 will issue shortly. The person concerned was notified of these details on 19 January 2017.
