Question:252 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Social, Community and Family Affairs when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will be approved his claim for unemployment assistance. [4573/98]
Written Answers - Social Welfare Benefits.
Following a recent review of his entitlements, a deciding officer disallowed the unemployment assistance claim of the person concerned from 11 February 1998 on the grounds that he failed to show that his means do not exceed the maximum weekly rate of unemployment assistance payable, which in his case is £67.50 per week. It is open to the person concerned to appeal this decision to the independent social welfare appeals office. A form for this purpose may be obtained from his local office in Achill.
