Jobseekers payments are ordinarily collected at a Post Office and payment by EFT method is only available in exceptional circumstances. The individual in question has been advised of this previously and an application to transfer to EFT Payment was refused accordingly.This case is currently being re-examined in light if the Deputy’s representations and a further communication will issue to the Deputy in this regard.

I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
