A jobseeker’s allowance claim for the person concerned is currently under review as he failed to establish his residency at the stated address. The person concerned was interviewed by an Officer of the Department on 3/10/17 and has been requested to provide documentary evidence of his address within seven days.

According to our records no claim for Supplementary Welfare Allowance has been made by the person concerned. Proof of address is required in order to submit an application for supplementary welfare allowance.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
