With reference to Parliamentary Question 45280/18, the person concerned is a part-time worker and claims jobseeker's allowance for days not in employment. The rate of payment is reduced by the amount of means attributable to earnings in respect of days of employment. Means assessed are based on the most recent earnings information supplied by the employer on Form UP 16 dated 24/9/2018.

Should there have been any changes to the circumstances of the person concerned since 24/9/2018, these should be notified to the Intreo Centre, Moorefield Road, Newbridge, supported with relevant documentation and a review of circumstances will be carried out accordingly.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
