A decision in respect of the application made by the person concerned for Supplementary Welfare Allowance Basic payment was finalised on the 07^thJune 2019. The Community Welfare Officer with responsibility for the area in which the person concerned resides advises that they made contact on 01/07/2019 and communicated the decision and the payment arrangements. Due to non collection from the designated Post Office any previous payments which have expired will be reissued to the person concerned.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
