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

An application for WFP was received from the person concerned on 14 March 2019.

They have been awarded WFP with effect from 10 January 2019 to 08 January 2020.

The first weekly payment and all arrears owing will issue to their nominated bank account on 29 March 2019.

The person concerned was notified on 27 March 2019 of this decision and of the right of review and appeal.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
