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 30 October 2018. The applicant has been awarded WFP with effect from 01 November 2018 to 30 October 2019.

The first payment and all arrears owing will issue to their nominated bank account on 18 December 2018. The person concerned was notified of this decision on 14 December 2018 and of the right of review and appeal.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
