The person concerned is in receipt of a widow's pension, a fuel allowance and a free travel pass. The son of the person concerned, who is in receipt of disability allowance, is in receipt of an electricity allowance and free television licence.
A previous application for the telephone allowance was not approved as the living-alone condition for this allowance was not satisfied. An application form and information booklet relating to the telephone allowance have issued to the person concerned. Upon receipt of the completed application form a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified of the outcome at an early date.
