Working Family Payment (WFP) is a weekly tax free payment which provides additional income support to employees on low earnings with children.
In order to qualify for Working Family Payment the customer must be working a minimum of 19 hours per week or 38 hours per fortnight.
The WFP of the person concerned was due for renewal from 31 January 2019. The evidence submitted in support of the application indicated that in the 4 weeks prior to that date, the person concerned did not satisfy the above condition and therefore had no entitlement to WFP.
However, further evidence has been submitted which shows they satisfy the condition from 7 February 2019 and their WFP has been awarded from this date.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
