The person concerned was in receipt of Jobseeker’s Allowance up to 1st January, 2013 at the weekly rate of €203.00. His entitlement was reviewed and he was requested by the Social Welfare Inspector to furnish documentation in support of his continuing entitlement. As he failed to furnish documentation, his payment was suspended.

He will need to provide the outstanding information in order to have his payment re-instated.
