As part of my Department’s commitment to ensuring that claimants are receiving their full and correct entitlements, ongoing reviews of all means tested payments are carried out.

In the case of an increase for qualified adult (IQA) on SPC, the primary claimant is contacted by my Department to notify them that their continuing entitlement to the means tested IQA payment is being examined.

A review letter and questionnaire issued to the person concerned on 26 August 2022. A response was received on 20 September 2022. Further information was requested on 21 September 2022. On receipt of the outstanding information a decision will be made on their entitlement.

I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
