The person concerned attended their local Intreo Centre on 20th April 2016 with a letter from their college stating that they were attending college on a whole-time basis. They had stated that they were attending the course part-time. The person concerned was advised to get confirmation from their college that the course is part-time and return it to the Intreo Office by 28th April 2016. To date this confirmation has not been returned to the Office and accordingly their jobseeker’s benefit credits claim has been closed retrospectively from 16th September 2015. The person concerned has a pending credits claim from 29th January 2016. To ensure that the claim is not closed the requested letter should be provided by close of business on Friday 27th May.
