As part of the jobseekers claim review process, the person concerned was requested by a Social Welfare Inspector to submit documentation so as to clarify their current means. The person concerned failed to supply the required documents within one month.

The Deciding Officer (DO) disallows the claim as it was not possible to establish that, based on the information available to them, the person's weekly means, calculated in accordance with legislative provisions, are below the amount of jobseeker allowance which would otherwise be payable to the person given their circumstances.

This decision has issued to the person concerned and they have been advised of their right of appeal. Alternatively, if they supply the outstanding documentation requested, the current decision can be reviewed.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
