Following an investigation by the Department’s Special Investigation’s Unit, the person concerned was determined to be working and claiming jobseekers payments. The Department’s decision on this claim was sent to the person at the end of January 2018. As a result of the findings of the investigation, an overpayment of €2,105.60 was assessed.
My understanding is that no appeal has been made against this decision and that the correspondence relates to the Department’s efforts to recover the sums overpaid. The person concerned can get further information on this matter from the Intreo Centre in Letterkenny.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
