Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department is currently managing a large number of review requests for the Covid-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment (PUP) re-rate at this time.
The person in question has been in receipt of weekly payments from the Dungloe Community Welfare Officer (CWO) pending a decision on his PUP entitlements and re-rate review. Following a completed review of the person’s records, I can advise the Deputy that the PUP in question has been re-rated to €350 per week with weekly payments available in the nominated bank account of the person concerned from 3rd November.
