The person concerned registered a company on 3rd November 2011 and subsequently deregistered same on 30th October 2014.

The person concerned applied for Back to Work Enterprise Allowance (BTWEA) on 13^thJuly 2018 and a decision on the application issued on 23^rdSeptember 2018. I understand from my Department that the application was not successful as the business was not a new enterprise.

I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
