Minister of State at the Department of Health

The person concerned has been awarded disability allowance with effect from 11 April 2018. The first payment was made by his chosen payment method on 11 July 2018.

Arrears of payment due, less any necessary adjustment in respect of any overlapping payments (if applicable) has issued to the person concerned on 16 July 2018.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
