The person concerned submitted an unsigned Supplementary Welfare Allowance application form to the Department and as this is not a complete application it was returned to the customer on 23 May 2017 with a request for the applicant to sign it and return it to the Department. To date a completed application form has not been received from the person concerned and as such the Department is not in a position to make a decision on the claim.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
