I am advised by the Social Welfare Appeals Office that appeal statistics are not maintained on the basis of occupation and it is therefore not in a position to supply the information sought by the Deputy in relation to reserve fire fighters.
General statistics relating to the numbers and outcomes of jobseeker's benefit and jobseeker's allowance appeals for 2012 and 2013 are outlined for the Deputy’s information in the tables below.
