An application was received by the person concerned applied for exceptional need assistance following a recent relocation of residence. The Designated Officer awarded a payment in early June 2016, to cover necessary household items of furniture and equipment. Taking into account her full circumstances, the designated officer has deemed that the person concerned has received her full entitlement to financial support in this regard.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
