I propose to take Questions Nos. 7 and 8 together.
It is a condition for the receipt of unemployment benefit or assistance that a claimant be available for employment. This means in general that a claimant must be free to take up employment and must be making genuine efforts to obtain work.
It also means that a claimant should not place unreasonable limitations on the type or hours of work he would accept or on the location in which he would accept employment.
In the matter of disallowance on the grounds that a person is not available for employment, claims in the Newbridge local office are not treated any differently from those in any other local office in the country. The criteria used, as defined in the preceding paragraphs, are applied uniformly in all local offices.
Every person whose claim to unemployment benefit or assistance is disallowed is advised in writing of the reason for the disallowance and of the right of appeal against the decision given in his case.
It is open to any person who is dissatisfied with a deciding officer's decision to appeal against the decision and to have the case determined by an appeals officer.
