An application was received from the customer concerned in the back to school clothing and footwear allowance section on the 14th of August 2012. The application was processed on the 24th of September 2012 and was disallowed as the person’s means exceed the income limit for their family size. A review of this decision was completed on the 22nd of October and the original decision was upheld. As no further evidence has been provided this decision stands and the claim is now closed.
