I confirm that my department received an application for carer’s allowance (CA) from the person concerned on 2 May 2018.
Carer's allowance was awarded to the person concerned on 10 September 2018 with effect from 3 May 2018. The first payment will issue to her nominated bank account on 4 October 2018.
The person concerned is currently in receipt of another social welfare payment. Arrears of CA will be due for the period from 3 May 2018 to 3 October 2018 and will be calculated once the other social welfare payment has been stopped.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
