Amharc ar fhreagraThe Deciding Officer has reviewed the circumstances of the person concerned. From the 12th December 2018 he will be in receipt of a Jobseekers Allowance payment of €213.90 per week. This is comprised of a personal rate of €198.00 and ½ rate child dependent rate of €15.90. Arrears have been approved.
This is the correct level of Jobseekers Allowance payable.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
