One parent family payments issued to the person concerned from 3 June 2004 to 11 May 2011. Following a review of her entitlement, her claim was disallowed from 12 May 2011 on the grounds that she and another person are living together as husband and wife. Her file is currently with an inspector who will review her circumstances and send a report to a deciding officer for a review of the decision to disallow her payment. In the event that the current decision to disallow is unchanged by the deciding officer her appeal will be forwarded to the social welfare appeals office for consideration. The person concerned applied for supplementary welfare allowance (SWA) from 19 May 2011. Her claim has been disallowed. She has been informed of her right to appeal. No appeal has been made to date in relation to the decision to disallow her SWA claim.
