Following the award of a scheme payment, claimants are informed of the weekly amount awarded.
Claimants are also informed by letter of the amount of arrears being paid to them and the period to which the arrears refer. It is proposed to continue with these notifications. However, if a request is received from a claimant for a breakdown of arrears paid, this is provided to them by letter.
If the Deputy has a particular case where a breakdown of arrears is required or further clarification, the relevant scheme area can be contacted.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
