I will not delay the Minister at all. The confusion is due to the fact that the letter stated the applicant should be in receipt of jobseeker's benefit for at least six months in order to qualify, but it is actually a minimum period of 78 days in the preceding six months. I imagine it was a misinterpretation of the intention. If I forward the particulars of the person's circumstances, the Minister might examine these.
