According to the documentation supplied to this Department by the person concerned to support his application for a back to work enterprise allowance (BTWEA), the person concerned is engaged as a sub-contractor. The application for a BTWEA was refused as persons engaged as sub-contractors are not eligible under the conditions of the BTWEA scheme. The application of the person concerned has been reviewed previously and the original decision was upheld. If the person concerned has new information/documentation he should provide it to the Department for consideration.
