A renewal application for Working Family Payment (WFP) was received from the person concerned on 16th April 2018.
However the renewal application could not be processed as the applicant had changed employment during the course of the last WFP award period. As the applicant had changed employment since the last renewal date it is necessary to complete a new application for WFP.
A new application for WFP was recently received from the person concerned.
The person concerned has been awarded WFP with effect from 15th March 2018 to 13th March 2019.
The first payment will issue to their nominated bank account on Tuesday 26th June 2018 and any arrears owing will also issue on this date.
The person concerned was notified on 22nd June 2018 of this decision.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
