Working Family Payment (WFP) is an in-work payment which provides additional income support to employees on low earnings with children.

An application for WFP was received from the person concerned on 28 January 2019.

The person concerned has been awarded WFP with effect from 10 January 2019 to 08 January 2020.

The first weekly payment will issue to their nominated bank account on 14 February 2019 and any arrears owing will issue shortly.

The person concerned was notified on 12 February 2019 of this decision and of their right of review and appeal.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
