An application for an exceptional needs payment was submitted by the person concerned and refused. The decision of the officer in this case was upheld by a review officer. A further application form has issued to the person concerned in relation to other heating works which require repair. This application will be considered on return of the application form and the person concerned informed of the outcome as soon as possible.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
