The person concerned was in receipt of jobseeker’s allowance from 4 July 2016 but the claim was disallowed following review. An appeal of this decision has been received by the Intreo Centre concerned and an Inspector is reviewing the case as a matter of urgency.

The Intreo Centre will also review the case on receipt of a report from the Inspector.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
