Written answers

Working Family Payment (WFP) is an in-work weekly payment which provides additional income support to employees on low earnings with children.

An application for WFP was received from the person concerned on 25 September 2022. A Deciding Officer reviewed the application, and WFP was awarded on 11 October 2022. The first weekly payment and all arrears owing have issued to their selected financial account.

The person concerned was notified on 11/10/2022 of this decision.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
