There is no record of a claim for the living alone allowance having been received in my Department from the person concerned.  In order to have entitlement to the allowance examined, a completed application form must be received. 

I have arranged for a living alone application form to be posted to the person concerned.  When the completed application form is received in my Department, a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified of outcome without delay. 

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
