The Minister mentioned that those over 62 can receive jobseeker's allowance, that the provision does not have to be job-activated and that it will be delivered once a year using electronic funding. Will the same system apply if the pension age is extended to 68? What will happen to the jobseeker's allowance in 2018 when a person reaches 67 years? Will the scheme be extended for a year after a person reaches the age of 66? Does the Minister understand my questions?
