Following a successful appeal, the information available to the deciding officer is that this gentleman’s family would be financially better off if he included his wife as a qualified adult on his disability allowance claim. His wife is currently in receipt of another social welfare payment at a lower rate than the qualified adult rate. For this reason, an option letter to include his wife has issued to him on 20 June 2017 and we await his instruction.

I trust this clarifies the matter for you.
