This person submitted a retrospective application for Jobseekers Benefit.

While his contribution record has been amended in relation to the matter referred to, further information is required before a decision can be made on his entitlement. This additional information was requested from him in April 2018, but unfortunately has not yet been received. The local Intreo Centre has written to the person to remind him of the need to submit this information. Once it is received, a decision will be made as quickly as possible.

I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
