The person concerned had been in receipt of Jobseekers Allowance (JA) since 1 February 2016. On 29 September 2016, she was interviewed by a Social Welfare Inspector in the course of a review of her entitlement. It was established that her means from rental income and maintenance payments exceeded the appropriate JA rate and, therefore, her claim was disallowed.
The person concerned has now appealed this decision; the appeal was received by the Social Welfare Appeals Office on 22 October 2016. The client will be advised of the decision on the appeal on completion.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
