Written Answers. - Pay-Related Benefit.
131.
According to the records of my Department the majority of the claimants referred to by the Deputy received pay-related benefit without delay with their flat rate unemployment benefit. However, due to the recent difficulties in communications a small number of cases in which further enquiries were necessary still remain to be determined.
Arrangements have been made to have these remaining cases finalised as soon as possible.
