The person concerned is in receipt of a jobseeker’s allowance payment. The means assessment is subject to the legislative provisions of that scheme. It is open to the person concerned to appeal the decision and request an oral hearing to the Social Welfare Appeals Office. If there are any changes in his circumstances he can request a review of his means at his local office.
