The person concerned was being deducted €117 means from his weekly Farm Assist payment since April 2013. At a recent Oral Appeals Hearing regarding these means, the existence of further financial information was revealed by the person concerned. As a result, a Social Welfare Inspector has reassessed the means and a Deciding Officer has issued the decision by post to the person concerned.
