Question:

Written answers

The person concerned is receiving the correct rate of One Parent Family Payment based on their current circumstances.

A means assessment was recently finalised for the person concerned on 21st March 2019. The weekly means figure was calculated based on the person concerned's part-time earnings and maintenance payments received at that time.

A means review form will issue again to the person concerned on 1st July 2019. Should there be any change in their circumstances prior to this date, they should contact my Department.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
