The person concerned has been in receipt of One Parent Family allowance payment since March, 2011. Upon review, the payment was suspended as the Department was unable to contact the person concerned. When contact was established the person concerned has been asked to supply documentation, to support her continued entitlement to the payment, which remains outstanding.
The person concerned can, if she wishes, apply for supplementary welfare allowance. Her entitlement to that payment will be examined by a Departmental official.
