I have had some anecdotal evidence of people who were in receipt of PUP earlier in the year, and when the new level 5 restrictions came in, on this occasion they were declined for PUP because of PRSI contributions. There seems to be some difference there between the two, and I wonder if the Department is keeping an eye on that. Is it something that is a live issue for it? What the Department would not want to do is create a further backlog of appeals.
