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 23rd October 2022.

The Department wrote to the person concerned on 30th November 2022 to request additional information in the form of payslips for the claimant and their spouse together with a college letter for a child in third level education. 

On receipt of the requested documentation from the person concerned their WFP application will be processed without delay and they will be notified of the outcome.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
