Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection

The person concerned withdrew an application for Jobseekers Allowance (JA) in favour of an application for Jobseekers Benefit (JB) therefore there is no outstanding documentation on the JA claim. The JB claim was awarded from the 30th October 2018 and the person has been informed.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
