The Deciding Officer has reviewed the circumstances of the person concerned.  From the 12th December 2018 he will be in receipt of a Jobseekers Allowance payment of €213.90 per week. This is comprised of  a personal rate of €198.00 and ½ rate child dependent rate of €15.90.  Arrears have been approved. 

This is the correct level of Jobseekers Allowance payable.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
