Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection

The jobseeker’s allowance claim of the person concerned is currently suspended as bank statements requested by the Social Welfare Inspector on the 23rd and 24th March, 2015 have not yet been received. On receipt of this information a means assessment can be completed. The required documentation should be provided to the department by 19th June, 2015.
