The person concerned is currently in receipt of One-Parent Family payment and Family Income Supplement (FIS). The qualifying conditions for One-Parent Family payment are due to change with effect from 4 July 2013, whereby entitlement to OFP is based on the start date of the claim and the age of the youngest child.
The person concerned will no longer satisfy the qualifying conditions for One-Parent Family payment and has been informed accordingly. As a result of the cessation of the One-Parent Family Payment, the person concerned will be entitled to an increase in the amount of Family Income Supplement and notification of the increase will issue shortly.
