The person concerned made an application for jobseeker's allowance on 23 February 2007. Due to an administrative error, she was incorrectly informed that her means exceeded the limit for entitlement to jobseeker's allowance in her case.

Her case is currently being re-examined and she has been asked to supply further details in connection with her claim. A decision on her claim will issue as soon as possible once this information is received.

The Department aims to provide a quality service to customers and the error which occurred in this case is regretted.
