Of the 25,500 customers who left the lone-parent payment scheme on 2 July 2015, approximately 13,600, half of them, moved to jobseeker's transitional payment, 2,500, 10%, moved to the jobseeker's assistance scheme, and approximately 8,000 moved to family income supplement. When one adds the back to work family dividend, most people experienced an improvement. Approximately 5,000 households of the 25,500 were in receipt of rent supplement. We are dealing with rent supplement issues on a case-by-case basis with the individual and would be happy to do so in any case which the Deputy would like to draw to our attention.
