The person concerned applied for supplementary welfare allowance. Following the submission of outstanding required documentation, payment will issue by cheque to the person concerned on Wednesday 6/12/17 and will include all arrears due. An exceptional needs payment will issue on the same day to meet immediate hardship. I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
