The customer’s letter of appeal was received by the local Community Welfare Service on October 19^thlast and was forwarded to the Social Welfare Appeals Office for their attention on the same day. The Social Welfare Appeals Office has confirmed that a decision on the customer's One Parent Family Allowance appeal is due to issue in the very near future
