The person concerned was registered as a full time student between 04/09/2017 and 31/10/2017 and as a consequence was deemed not to satisfy the qualifying conditions for receipt of Jobseekers Allowance for this period resulting in an overpayment of €1613 being assessed against him. A weekly recovery of €25 per week was put in place from 24/04/2018.

This case is now under review and an officer of my department will contact the customer as a matter of urgency.

I trust that this clarified the matter for the Deputy.
