There are some situations where it may not be reasonable for the client to name a nominated person. These include (but are not limited to):

• clients applying because their spouse or partner has died
  (These clients are not to be asked to provide details of a nominated person)
• Client has recently changed locations
• Client is experiencing family violence
• Partner in prison (These clients are not to be asked to provide details of a nominated person)

Where it is not reasonable for a client to provide details of a nominated person, you still need to be satisfied the client meets the qualifications for Sole Parent Support before granting the benefit.
