The person concerned submitted a One Parent Family (OPF) claim on 25/01/2024.
On February 13th, the claim was disallowed on the basis the person concerned is not separated from her spouse/partner. This decision was made under Section 172(1)(c) & Section 177(a) of the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005, as amended, and Article 125 of S.I. No. 142 of 2007, as amended.
The person concerned does not qualify for One-Parent family as they are not a qualified parent under Social Welfare Legislation. A qualified parent is a separated spouse.
The person concerned has not submitted an appeal against this decision to date.
This claim has now been reviewed resulting in no grounds to overturn the original decision.
