The person applied for jobseeker's allowance on the 23 February 2009, but as he failed to furnish his means to the social welfare investigator his claim was disallowed. He was notified of this decision and of his right of appeal on 7 April 2009. He subsequently appealed this decision. His case is with the Social Welfare Appeals Office and an oral appeal is being scheduled.

The person concerned made an application for jobseeker's allowance on 8 April 2010. The payment of jobseeker's allowance is subject to a means test and, in this regard, his means were found to be in excess of the statutory limits for receipt of that payment. He was notified of this decision and of his right of appeal. To date no notice of appeal has been received by the Department.
