Working Family Payment (WFP), formerly Family Income Supplement, is a weekly in-work support which provides an income top-up for employees on low earnings with children. To qualify for Working Family Payment the customer must have at least 1 qualified child who normally resides with them and be working a minimum of 38 hours per fortnight in ongoing insurable employment.A review of WFP renewal for the person concerned has been completed and the claim has been awarded from 25th July 2024.
Arrears due to the person concerned from the date of renewal have been issued.
