Working Family Payment (WFP) 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 one qualified child who normally resides with them and be working a minimum of 38 hours per fortnight in ongoing insurable employment.

An application for WFP was received from the person concerned on 30 March 2026.

The Deciding Officer has requested additional information from the person concerned. The WFP claim will be processed when all required information is received.
