View answerWorking Family Payment (WFP) is a weekly tax-free payment which provides additional income support to employees on low earnings with children.
An application for WFP was received from the person concerned on 18th September 2018.
The applicant has been awarded WFP for 52 weeks with effect from 16th August 2018 to 14th August 2019.
The first weekly payment and all arrears owing issued to the person's nominated bank account on Thursday 27th September 2018. The applicant has been paid to date.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
