The person concerned is not entitled to jobseeker’s allowance as she is currently engaged in a full-time course of study and so not available for or seeking full time employment. An overpayment in the amount of €4752.00 has been assessed for the period 15 November 2013 to 11 February 2014 during which the person concerned was in receipt of jobseeker’s allowance and also engaged in full time education.
