An officer of my Department has contacted the person concerned and advised her regarding suitable supports.  The person concerned declined to submit an application for Supplementary Welfare Allowance at this time but was assured that she could contact the Community Welfare Service in the future to seek advice/assistance if her circumstances necessitate this.

I trust this clarifies the matter.
