On 2^nd December 2013 her payment was suspended and as she did not make any contact with her local office, her claim was subsequently closed on 17^th December 2013. The person concerned submitted a new application for a one-parent family payment on 7^th January 2014. In the meantime, while her application is being processed, she has been awarded a weekly supplementary welfare allowance payment.
