The client applied for a One-Parent Family Payment. Her claim was fully investigated and was disallowed as it was found that there was no marriage break between the client and her husband who continues to live and work in their native country. The client appealed this decision and the file was sent to the Social Welfare Inspector for review. The inspector has now confirmed her original findings to the Deciding Officer who will review her decision and prepare a submission for the Appeals Office.
