The entitlement to a one-parent family payment (OFP) in the case of the person concerned ceased with effect from 25 August 2016 due to age related budgetary changes. Upon cessation of this payment a review of her family income supplement (FIS) entitlement was undertaken, and her FIS payment increased to €125 a week with effect from 25 August 2016.

The person concerned may also have an entitlement to a back to work family dividend (BTWFD) payment. An application form for a BTWFD has been posted to the person concerned.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
