An on-line application for a redundancy lump sum payment in respect of the person concerned was submitted in August 2012. An application for a redundancy payment is not valid until a hard copy of the signed form is received by the Department. In this case the signed form was received on 19 September 2012. The target for processing on-line lump sum claims is 6 to 8 weeks and that target is currently being achieved. We would expect therefore that this claim will be processed before the end of November, 2012.
