The person concerned was disallowed Jobseeker's Allowance because his weekly means based on his partner's gross earnings exceeded the scheduled limit. The disallowance was upheld on appeal in January 2011.

He applied again for jobseeker's allowance from 24 January 2011. His means were assessed on the basis of new information provided and his claim was disallowed on 11 March 2011 as his means again exceeded the scheduled amount. He has not appealed against this decision.
