An application for Working Family Payment (WFP) was received from the person concerned on 30 April 2018. At the time of application, the person concerned was in receipt of Jobseekers Allowance (JA) which is not payable with WFP. This customer’s JA was closed on 16 May 2018 so WFP has been awarded and will be paid to their bank account on 18 May 2018.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
