Written answers

Working Family Payment is a weekly income support for families in low paid or part-time employment.

Working Family Payment for the person concerned was stopped in accordance with legislation as they were in receipt of Illness Benefit for longer than six weeks. 

Once the person concerned returned to work, Working Family Payment reviewed their entitlement and put the person concerned back into payment. All arrears due were issued on 24th February 2022.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
