An application for jobseeker’s benefit was submitted in the case of the person concerned with effect from 16 January 2017. This status of this application is currently pending. Further information was requested from the person concerned in order to complete the application process. The application will be examined and a decision will issue on receipt of the outstanding information.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy. Please contact Philip in my office should you need any further assistance.
