Working Family Payment (WFP) is a weekly in-work payment which provides additional income support to employees on low earnings with children.
An application was received from the person concerned on 12 October 2018.
The applicant was awarded WFP on 19 December 2018 and was notified in writing of this decision.
However, they have requested a review of the decision of 19 December 2018. Following their request for a review, the Department wrote to the person concerned on 4 January 2019 and has requested additional employment-related information.
On receipt of the requested information from the person concerned, the decision of 19 December 2018 will be reviewed without delay and they will be notified of the outcome.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
