The person concerned is currently in receipt of a weekly payment of supplementary welfare allowance for herself and her dependant children as she has insufficient contributions to qualify for an illness benefit payment. She does not satisfy the conditions for a jobseeker’s allowance payment while she is ill and unable to seek employment. She will continue to receive a supplementary welfare allowance payment while she continues to be certified as ill and no changes in her circumstances occur which affect her entitlement.
