The person concerned has not had an active claim with my department since May 2017. The person concerned made a new claim for Jobseekers Allowance (JA) in March 2018. The Social Welfare Inspector requested additional information from the person concerned to support their application.
As this information was not supplied, the application was disallowed as the person concerned had failed to show that their means was less than the weekly rate of JA payable appropriate to their circumstances. The person concerned was informed of this decision in June 2018 and there has been no further communication from them to my department since.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
