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

An application for WFP was received from the person concerned on 11th August 2018.

The applicant has been awarded WFP for 52 weeks with effect from 09th August 2018 to 07th August 2019.

The first weekly payment and all arrears owing issued to the applicant's nominated bank account on Friday 28th September 2018.

The person concerned was notified on 26th September 2018 of this decision and of their right of review & appeal.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
