The person concerned was awarded jobseeker’s allowance on 31 January 2014. Based on the information provided, he was assessed with self-employment means of €6,580 per annum or €127 per week which equates to a weekly entitlement of €61. He did not appeal this decision. If the person concerned wishes to seek a review of his means, he should contact his local office and submit evidence of his changed circumstances.
