Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 October 2017
704. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the reason Jobseeker's Allowance has been terminated in the case of a person (details supplied); the reason a basic payment has not been made in lieu thereof; if the case can be urgently reviewed; if a full investigation surrounding the case can be made in view of suggestions (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [42411/17]
View answerA Jobseeker’s Alowance claim for the person concerned is currently under review as he failed to establish his residency at the stated address. The person concerned was interviewed by an Officer of the Department on 3 October 2017 and has been requested to provide documentary evidence of his address within seven days.
According to our records, no claim for Supplementary Welfare Allowance has been made by the person concerned. Proof of address is required in order to submit an application for supplementary welfare allowance.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
