The first person concerned submitted an application for an exceptional needs payment on 29/5/17 in respect of costs associated with moving in to a new social housing dwelling. The application was refused under section 190(1) of the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005 which disqualifies persons who are in full-time employment. The partner of the person concerned is currently engaged in full-time employment.
The person concerned was advised of her right to apply for a formal review of the decision.
A request for a review of her case has not been received to-date.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
