Applicants for a range of social assistance payments must satisfy the condition of being habitually resident in Ireland. The person concerned applied for jobseeker’s allowance and completed the habitual residency condition form. The application was disallowed by a deciding officer on the grounds that the person does not satisfy this condition. It is open for them to appeal this decision to the Social Welfare Appeals Office by calling to the Limerick Intreo Office to complete the necessary forms.
