An application for family income supplement (FIS) was submitted by the person concerned on 29 September 2015. That application was disallowed on the grounds that the net weekly assessable earnings exceeded the prescribed income level for the number of people in the family.

Following additional information being provided by the claimant regarding additional eligible children attending full time education, the FIS file has been sent to a Social Welfare Inspector (SWI) on 25 November, 2015 for further investigation. The SWI has been making efforts to confirm the residency of the children in question and will complete her report shortly and return it to FIS section.

Once the SWI has returned the completed report, a review of the decision in relation to FIS will be undertaken and the person in question will be informed of the outcome.
