The Social Welfare Appeals Office has informed the Department that the appeal for this customer was successful.  Their Jobseekers Allowance Payment has thus bee awarded from the 08 June 2018 at a personal rate of €198.00 per week.  Arrears of €5282.00 for the period 08 June 2018 to 11 December 2018 have been awarded.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
