According to the records of the Department the person concerned advised that he is a casual worker and is classified as such. As a casual worker he was requested to produce documentation relating to his employment in late October 2015, he was advised his payment would be affected if this documentation was not returned. The requested documentation was not returned and his claim was suspended pending the receipt of same. The Department has now been advised by the person concerned that his casual employment has ceased and he is requested to submit documentation to confirm this position. I understand that the person concerned has made an application for supplementary welfare allowance and has received a BASI payment.
According to the records of the Department there is no application for Back to Work Enterprise Allowance for the person concerned.
