The person concerned made an application for a Jobseeker's Allowance payment in December 2017. The application was disallowed by the Deciding Officer as it was deemed that the person concerned had means in excess. The person concerned appealed the decision to the Social Welfare Appeals Office, and a decision is awaited.

The person concerned has no pending application for a Jobseeker's Allowance Payment at this time.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
