In order to examine entitlement to living alone allowance for the person concerned, they must submit an application to this Department.  I have arranged for an application form for the living alone allowance to be posted to the person concerned.  When the completed application is received in my Department, a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified of the outcome without delay. 

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
