The person concerned applied for Jobseeker's Allowance on 18 February 2009. The application is currently with a Social Welfare Inspector for investigation and she will be notified of the outcome as soon as possible. While the Department makes every effort to process claims in a timely and efficient manner, the timescale involved can vary depending on the volume of claims received.
