The person concerned is in receipt of Jobseeker’s Allowance in respect of himself, a qualified adult and 2 qualified children. Weekly means have been assessed based on spousal employment. The current weekly rate payable is based on the information available to the Department. If the person concerned wishes his Jobseeker’s Allowance to be reviewed he should supply the most recent payslip in respect of his spouse to the Maynooth branch office and a review will be carried out as soon as possible.

I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
