An application form, from the customer concerned, was received by the Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance section on the 27th of June 2012. The application was processed on the 18th of July 2012 and was disallowed as the person’s means exceed the income limit for their family size. The customer concerned requested a review of this decision. Their review was completed on the 14th of August and the original decision was upheld. As no further evidence has been provided this decision stands and the claim is now closed.
