Following a review of his unemployment assistance claim, the person's claim was disallowed by a deciding officer from 10 July 1991, on the grounds that he had failed to show that his means did not exceed the statutory limit for receipt of assistance.
He appealed this decision to the independent social welfare appeals office, and following further investigation by a social welfare officer, an oral hearing of his appeal was held on 30 January 1992. On the basis of the evidence available the appeals officer upheld the decision of the deciding officer in the matter.
Following receipt of further representations, the appeals officer proposes to have a further oral hearing. This hearing will be arranged for an early date.
