The person concerned was in receipt of Jobseeker’s Benefit (JB) payment until 1st July 2016. The person concerned has applied for Jobseeker’s Allowance which is a means tested payment. The spouse of the person concerned owns a farm and an in-depth means assessment is required to establish entitlement. Upon receipt of this assessment a decision will be made on the application of the person concerned.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
