The person concerned made an application for jobseeker's allowance on 10 July 2009. Following an investigation in November 2009 by an Inspector from this Department, the person concerned was assessed with means in excess of the statutory limit for this payment. In March 2010 the person concerned indicated his wish to submit an appeal against the means assessed and an Inspector undertook a review of means in this case. The case has been referred to a Deciding Officer for a decision and the person concerned will be notified of the decision in the next week. No formal written appeal was received from the person concerned.
