Following a review of this customer's Jobseekers claim, a revised decision was made, and an overpayment assessed by a Deciding Officer of my Department, which was notified to the customer.  The customer subsequently appealed this decision to the Social Welfare Appeals Office.

The appeal is under consideration by the Social Welfare Appeals Office (SWAO) which has received a submission from the Department on the case.  I am advised that the SWAO will issue its determination shortly.

I trust that this clarifies matters for the Deputy.
