Working Family Payment (WFP) is an in-work weekly payment which provides additional financial support to employees on low earnings with children, relative to family size.
An application for WFP (dated 18 August 2019) and a subsequent application (dated 25 September 2019) was also received from the person concerned.
The person concerned has been awarded WFP for 52 weeks with effect from 22 August 2019 to 19 August 2020. A weekly payment and all arrears owing will issue to their nominated financial account on 15 October 2019.
The person concerned was notified of this decision on 11 October 2019 and of their right of review and appeal.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
