Working Family Payment (WFP) is an in-work payment which provides additional income support to employees on low earnings with qualified children.

An application for WFP was received from the person concerned on 5th October 2022. This application was reviewed by a Deciding Officer and the Department wrote to the person concerned on 8th November 2022. This letter advised the person concerned to apply for Child Benefit and to revert back to WFP once this has been completed.

To date, no reply has been received from the person concerned.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
