The person concerned made an application for jobseekers allowance and has, as part of the qualifying conditions for receipt of this payment, declared herself available for and seeking full time work. To assist her in her efforts to find work she has been referred to her local JobPath provider and she is actively engaging with them at present. She is being paid the appropriate rate of jobseekers allowance for a person in her circumstances.
If she is unfit for work through illness, jobseekers allowance may not be the appropriate payment and depending on the illness she has, she should make an application, which involves submission of relevant medical evidence, for a payment appropriate to her circumstances; which may be one, inter alia, of the following: illness benefit, occupational injury benefit or disability allowance.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
