Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 April 2018
337. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the basis on which a reduced level of jobseeker's allowance is being paid in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [17382/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person concerned is in receipt of a jobseekers allowance payment at a reduced rate. The reduced rate arises from an assessment of means derived from rental income. The decision was upheld by a Social Welfare Appeals Officer and the person concerned was advised by the social welfare appeals office of the decision on 12/10/17.
A letter issued from Newbridge Intreo Office on 24/10/17 advising the person concerned of the award of their claim and a further letter issued to them on 26/10/17 advising the details of an arrears payment of €3,448.
Please note that an incorrect PPSN has been quoted in the detail of the PQ and does not refer to the person concerned.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
