The person concerned submitted an application for One-Parent Family Payment (OFP) with effect from 29/10/2021. This application was disallowed on 24/02/2021 as the person concerned failed to provide the requested documentation necessary for her means to be established.
The person concerned made an application for a Supplementary Welfare Allowance payment on 20/01/2021 which was disallowed on 22/03/2021 as she failed to provide the necessary documentation for her means to be established.
An appeal has been received and a Deciding Officer is preparing a response file which will be sent to the Social Welfare Appeals Office this week.
If the circumstances of the person concerned have changed since her last OFP application it is open to her to submit a new application with all the supporting documentation required to process an application.
I trust this clarifies the matter.
