In relation to the one parent family payment of the person concerned, there has been no recent contact concerning her current address. It is necessary for her to contact her local social welfare office with documentary proof of address and a review of her claim will be undertaken as soon as possible.

With respect to her child benefit payment, all payments to the person concerned have issued to the nominated bank account up to and including May 2014. Payment due for June 2014 has been suspended pending confirmation of her address. When her current address is received in child benefit section her entitlement will be reviewed.

If the person concerned is currently homeless she should call to the homeless unit in Castle Street where her circumstances can be examined.
