According to the records of my Department, the person concerned has been awarded a Jobseeker's Benefit payment from 01/09/2020. A decision will be made on her application prior to 01/09/2020 in due course. Once this decision has been made the Department will notify the person concerned.

I trust this clarifies the matter.
