An application for Working Family Payment (WFP) was received from the person concerned on 28 March 2018.

In order to determine entitlement to WFP, all applications must be fully completed and signed by the claimant so that a claim can be processed.

The application form (FIS1) submitted by the person concerned could not be processed as Part 8 (employer details) of the form was incomplete. WFP Section wrote to the applicant on 14 April 2018 requesting Part 8 (employer details) to be completed on the application form but no response was received and the claim remained pending.

To date, the information requested by WFP Section remains outstanding so a decision on entitlement cannot be determined. WFP Section reissued a letter requesting the relevant documents on 6 July 2018.

On receipt of this information, WFP will be processed and the person without delay and the person concerned will be notified in due course.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
