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

An application for Working Family Payment (WFP) was received from the person concerned on 26 April 2018.

The applicant has been awarded WFP from 26 April 2018 to 24 April 2019.

Payment is due to issue to the claimant’s nominated financial account this week.

Any arrears due will issue shortly.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
