An application for an Exceptional Needs Payment for the person concerned was received on 25/01/2017. The application was refused on the grounds that it should be possible for the client to meet this cost from his own income. The person concerned was advised of the outcome of the application and the right to appeal the decision. To date, no appeal has been received.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
