View answerThe person concerned had a claim for jobseekers allowance (JA) from 23/06/2006 to 02/6/2015. The person concerned was paid an adult dependant allowance increase on their JA claim in respect of their spouse from 2006.
Following an investigation and subsequent inspector report in March 2014, it was established that the person concerned had failed to disclose means from their spouse's employment which had commenced on 02/03/2009 and as a result an overpayment was assessed.
