An application for financial assistance was submitted by one of the persons concerned for floor covering and an exceptional needs payment was awarded and issued on 24 November 2016. There are no further applications pending in this case. It is open to the persons concerned to submit a further application for financial assistance should their circumstances warrant this. For convenience an application form has been sent to the person concerned.

I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
