The person concerned has applied for One Parent Family Payment and her claim was referred to a Social Welfare Inspector (SWI) for investigation.

The SWI has concluded their enquiries and will be submitting a recommendation to a Deciding Officer within the next 7 working days. When a decision has been made by the Deciding Officer the person concerned will be informed of the outcome. My Department does not anticipate any undue delay with the decisions process.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
