The person concerned met with the Designated Officer and has been provided with immediate income support as appropriate to her circumstances.  She was also advised of the application process for an exceptional needs payment in respect of funeral expenses and the relevant application forms were sent to her on 1/3/2019.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
