According to the records of my Department the person concerned applied for an Exceptional Needs Payment for house repairs. In order to complete the assessment of the application, the local Community Welfare Officer has requested additional information.

The circumstances of this case are quite complex and when all the necessary information has been received, the person’s application will be processed promptly.

I trust this clarifies the matter.
