The person concerned is currently in receipt of Jobseeker’s Allowance comprising the maximum personal rate, an increase in respect of a Qualified Adult and one Child Dependant.

This is the maximum amount payable for a person in her circumstances and the correct payment based on the information supplied to the Department by the person concerned.

It is open to the person concerned to request a review of her claim if her circumstances have changed.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
