Carer's benefit (CARB) is a payment made to insured people who leave the workforce to care for a person(s) in need of full-time care and attention.
An application for CARB was received from the person concerned on 6 March 2018.
The application was awarded to the person concerned on 6 June 2018 and the first payment will issue to her nominated post office on 14 June 2018.
Arrears of allowance due from 7 June 2018 to 13 June 2018 will also issue.
The person concerned was notified on 6 June 2018 of this decision, the reason for it and of her right of review and appeal.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
