Amharc ar fhreagraAn application for carer's allowance (CA) was received from the person concerned on 31 August 2015.
As a result of an appeals officer’s decision CA was awarded to the person concerned on 26 January 2017 and the first payment will issue to her nominated post office on 2 February 2017. Arrears for the period 3 September 2015 to 1 February 2017 will issue shortly.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
