Officials working in the Atypical Working Scheme (AWS) Unit of my Department have reviewed the applications of the persons concerned and have confirmed that the decisions as issued were correct.

However I can confirm, that new applications from the person's details supplied have been received by my Department and are being processed in line with the schemes published criteria.

The processing time for AWS applications is 20 working days, once all the required documentation has been satisfactorily received. Notwithstanding this, my Department has committed as an exceptional measure that these applications will be expedited and that a decision will be communicated shortly.
