The person concerned applied for jobseeker's benefit on 7 October 2008 and his claim is being examined currently. A decision will be made as soon as possible and he will be notified of the outcome. Under Social Welfare legislation decisions in relation to claims must be made by Deciding Officers and Appeals Officers. These officers are statutorily appointed and I have no role in regard to making such decisions.
