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 renewal was received from the person concerned. Further information was requested in relation to the application by the Department. Once this information was received a Deciding Officer reviewed the application, and WFP was awarded on 12/10/2022, with effect from 22/09/2022 (renewal date). The first weekly payment and all arrears owing have issued to their selected financial account on 12/10/2022.
The person concerned was notified on 12/10/2022 of this decision.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
