From 29th June, the higher rate of PUP is only payable to those who had average weekly reckonable income of €200 or greater from self-employment prior to applying for the PUP.

As my Department has identified the person concerned as self-employed, it is basing its decision on his return of income in the 2018 tax year.

Based on the income advised by the Revenue Commissioners the lower weekly PUP rate of €203 now applies.

If the person concerned is not satisfied with the above information, he should raise this matter with the Revenue Commissioners.

I trust this clarifies the matter.
