View answerFollowing a review, the Covid-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment (PUP) for the person concerned has been rerated back to €350 with effect from 26/06/2020 and all arrears due will be paid in the coming week.
The person concerned closed his PUP claim on 02/09/2020 on the basis that he was returning to work.
I trust this clarifies the matter.
