The person concerned applied for Jobseeker's Allowance on the 15th March 2022. The application was forwarded to a Social Welfare Inspector for full examination in relation to means from parental income. Upon receipt of the Social Welfare Inspectors Report a decision was made and the person concerned was awarded Jobseeker's Allowance at the rate of €90.70 per week. As the person concerned is under 25 an adjustment of €90.30 and means from parental income of €27.00 are deducted from their personal rate of €208.00. The person concerned applied to have his application backdated and this application was awarded also. The person concerned has been sent a decision letter with instructions to collect payment from their nominated Post Office on the 23rd June 2022. They will have the right to appeal this decision to the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office if they are not satisfied with it.
