The person concerned was refused an Exceptional Needs Payment (ENP) on the grounds that she failed to provide information that was requested and she did not show that she had a need for such assistance. The client was advised that if she wished to have this decision reviewed, she should send a request in writing to the Review Officer. To date, no request for a review has been received by this Department.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
