The person concerned submitted a claim for Jobseeker's Allowance on 12 July 2010 and I am pleased to say that his application has been awarded with effect from that date at a weekly rate of €57.00. His weekly means from self employment were calculated at €139.00 per week based on €13,815.62 annual gross earnings less expenses of €6,600. The person concerned first payment will issue to his local Post Office on 17 November 2010.
