The person concerned applied for a jobseeker's allowance on 31 March 2009. One of the conditions for receipt of Jobseeker's Allowance is that the person must satisfy the means test. The person concerned refused to disclose his means and provide sufficient proof of his residence. Accordingly, his application was disallowed. He was notified of this decision on 23 September 2009 and of his right of Appeal. To date no notice of appeal has been received by the Department.
