Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 December 2013
322. Deputy Patrick Nulty asked the Minister for Social Protection if an application for jobseeker's allowance will be expedited in respect of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 15; the reason for the delay; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [54201/13]
View answerThe person concerned made a claim for jobseeker’s allowance on 10 September 2013. At his interview on 19 September 2013 he was requested to provide documentary evidence in support of his application. As this was not forthcoming it was requested again on 9 October 2013. He neither responded nor contacted the Intreo Office, and as a result his claim was closed on 4 November 2013. He was notified of this decision in writing. Should he wish to re-open his claim, he can attend the office at any time.
