To ask the Minister for Social Protection the reason a British citizen (details supplied) Dublin 1 who has worked here before but whose job has since ceased has a PPS number and is in a relationship status with an Irish citizen, is now being refused jobseeker's benefit/allowance, community welfare supplementary support twice, even though they have provided all documentation, including the habitual residence form and has no intention of leaving the country; if her attention has been drawn to the financial difficulties they are undergoing as they have no access to support services during their unemployment.

The person concerned has received formal decisions with regard to his jobseeker's allowance and supplementary welfare allowance applications. These matters are now being dealt with by the independent Social Welfare Appeals Office.
