Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 July 2018
865. Deputy Gerry Adams asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if her attention has been drawn to the case of a person (details supplied) who is awaiting the result of a retrospective eligibility claim for a jobseeker's payment; when this claim will be completed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30323/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThis person submitted a retrospective application for Jobseekers Benefit.
While his contribution record has been amended in relation to the matter referred to, further information is required before a decision can be made on his entitlement. This additional information was requested from him in April 2018, but unfortunately has not yet been received. The local Intreo Centre has written to the person to remind him of the need to submit this information. Once it is received, a decision will be made as quickly as possible.
I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
