The person concerned applied for jobseekers allowance on 22 September 2009. As he failed to supply documentation requested by the Social Welfare Inspector in support of his claim, his entitlement could not be established. His claim was subsequently closed. He made a further claim for jobseeker's allowance on 2 March 2010. His claim was disallowed by a deciding officer on the grounds that he failed to disclose full particulars of his means. He was notified of this decision on 6 May 2010.

The person concerned appealed this decision. The appeal was forwarded to the Social Welfare Appeals Office on 11 June 2010. The Appeals Office will be touch with him directly in relation to his appeal.
