The person concerned applied for jobseeker's allowance on 3 June 2010. He failed to supply documents requested and his claim was closed. When he made contact with his Local Social Welfare Office on 9 July 2010, his claim was re-opened and was subsequently awarded from that date. The issue of backdating his payments to 3 June 2010 is under consideration.
