The issue has arisen as a result of the manner in which earnings from employment were assessed in this case. In the SWA assessment, earnings are calculated on an yearly average and so the means were as stated. In view of the working arrangement that the person concerned has entered into with her employer and the reduction in the hours worked, as outlined by the Deputy, I would advise that she should re-engage with her CWO and have her means reassessed.

I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
