148. To ask the Minister for Social Protection the status of an appeal in respect of a decision to refuse payment of jobseeker's benefit in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22597/17]

The person concerned has not submitted an appeal in relation to an application made to the Department; they have however recently submitted an application for Farm Assist. As is the normal procedure with all Farm Assist claims, it has been forwarded to a Social Welfare Inspector for investigation. Once this investigation is completed the Department will be in a position to make a decision on the claim.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
