An application for the back to school clothing and footwear allowance was received from the customer concerned on 27 June 2012. The application was processed on 18 July 2012 and was disallowed as the person’s means exceed the income limit for their family size. The income limit for the person concerned is €593.40 while their household income was assessed at €609.28. The person concerned requested a review of this decision which was completed on 14th of August. The original decision was upheld and as no further evidence has been provided this decision remains and the claim is now closed.
