On 15 January 2018 this department received notification from Newbridge Intreo Office that this lady’s spouse had made a claim for Jobseekers Benefit (JB).

The person concerned was requested to supply supporting documentation on 18 January 2018 regarding her spouse’s two employments, which is required by the deciding officer in order to carry out a review of her entitlement.

On 22 January 2018 we received details regarding the cessation of one employment. A further request for the remaining supporting documentation was sent to this lady on 22 February

On receipt of this information a decision will be made and the person concerned will be notified of the outcome of her review.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
