The person concerned applied for Jobseeker's allowance on 16th November 2011. Based on the information supplied by the applicant, it was decided that he did not satisfy the Habitual Residence Condition. The deciding officer in this case has decided that the person's future intentions to remain in the State are short-term.

If the person is not satisfied with the decision of the deciding officer, more documentary evidence or information that would be relevant to the case can be sent to the Department and the initial decision will be reviewed by a deciding officer.

The decision can also be appealed to the Social Welfare Appeals Office.
