As outlined in previous responses, the person concerned has been advised on more than one occasion to make an application to her Local Social Welfare Office in order to determine her entitlement to the one parent family payment. The person concerned has also been advised that if she is currently homeless she should call to the homeless unit in Castle Street where her circumstances can be examined. No contact has been made by the person concerned with the Department. The person concerned needs to engage with the Department if she wishes to have her entitlement to a payment assessed.
