Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 July 2016
124. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the current position in regard to determination of an application for jobseeker's allowance in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21869/16]
View answerThe person concerned was in receipt of Jobseeker’s Benefit (JB) payment until 1st July 2016. The person concerned has applied for Jobseeker’s Allowance which is a means tested payment. The spouse of the person concerned owns a farm and an in-depth means assessment is required to establish entitlement. Upon receipt of this assessment a decision will be made on the application of the person concerned.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
