View answerMy officials have advised a Supplementary Welfare Allowance form issued to the person concerned by post on 06/10/2021. As the completed forms had not been received by the Community Welfare Service on 13/10/2021 a designated officer contacted the person concerned by phone and arranged for new forms to be posted to her. I understand that the designated officer was to contact the person concerned on 15/10/2021 to arrange for the completed forms and supporting documentation to be collected in person by my officials. On receipt of the completed forms the application will be assessed and a decision issued to the person concerned.
I trust this clarifies the matter.
