Working Family Payment (WFP) is a weekly tax free payment which provides additional income support to employees on low earnings with children.

A new application for WFP was recently received from the person concerned.

A Deciding Officer (DO) is currently assessing the application and the applicant will be notified of the decision in due course.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
