The customer applied for One Parent Family Allowance on July 23^rdlast and the application was referred to the local Social Welfare Inspector for investigation. This application was disallowed on September 15^thlast as the Social Welfare Inspector was not satisfied that the customer is residing at her stated address.

The customer applied for Basic Supplementary Welfare Allowance on August 28^thand this application was disallowed by the local Community Welfare Service on September 18^thas the Community Welfare Officer was not satisfied that the customer is residing at her stated address.

Both of these decisions are appealable to the Social Welfare Appeals Office.

I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
