It is a condition for receipt of the Pandemic Unemployment Payment that the person should have lost their job as a result of the Covid-19 crisis but have been  in employment immediately prior to the 13th March 2020.

I am advised that my Department has no record of an application for the Pandemic Unemployment Payment being received from the customer but I can confirm that the customer made a claim for Jobseekers Allowance on 24th February which was subsequently awarded on 27th February 2020.
