The person concerned made a claim for jobseeker's allowance on 26th May 2014. During the claim process he was requested to provide documentary evidence of how he had supported himself since his last employment terminated in May 2011. The person concerned failed to provide the satisfactory evidence and the deciding officer disallowed his claim. This decision can be appealed by the person concerned to the Social Welfare Appeals Office.
