We analyze the proton recoil energy and angular distribution of the radiative \ensuremathβ^\ensuremath- decay of the neutron to leading order in the large baryon mass expansion by taking into account the contributions of the proton-photon correlations. We show that the account for the proton-photon correlations does not contradict the description of the radiative corrections to the lifetime of the neutron and the proton recoil energy spectrum of the neutron \ensuremathβ^\ensuremath- decay in terms of the functions (\ensuremathα/\ensuremathπ)gn(Ee) and (\ensuremathα/\ensuremathπ)fn(Ee), where Ee is the electron energy. In addition we find that the contributions of the proton-photon correlations in the radiative \ensuremathβ^\ensuremath- decay of the neutron to the proton recoil asymmetry C are of order 10^\ensuremath-4. They make the contributions of the radiative corrections to the proton recoil asymmetry C symmetric with respect to a change A0\ensuremath↔B0, where A0 and B0 are the correlation coefficients of the neutron \ensuremathβ^\ensuremath- decay.
