The person concerned claimed one parent family payment from 21 May 2009. His claim was disallowed on 11 September 2009 as he failed to disclose his means. He lodged an appeal on 30 September 2009 and his file was sent to an inspector for a review of his case. The inspector contacted the person concerned on 9 October 2009 and requested a P.45 or a letter from his employer and bank statements. He stated that he would send the documents requested directly to the inspector within a matter of days. When the details are received the inspector will prepare a report for the deciding officer to review the decision of 11 September 2009.
