The person concerned has received financial assistance on three occasions from the Department in relation to housing relocation, furniture and appliance needs, the latest being the 9 August, 2016.

According to the records of the Department, the person concerned has not submitted a recent application for financial assistance towards the cost of housing relocation. It is open to the person concerned to submit an application for financial assistance.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
