The person concerned appealed the means assessed against his Farm Assist payment and, as is procedure with appeals of assessments, his file was returned to the Social Welfare Inspector for review. This review is now complete and the means assessment has been revised.

His rate of payment has been adjusted and any arrears due to him will issue as soon as possible.
