From enquiries made by my officials with Kerry ETB, I understand that the individual concerned is enrolled on a course eligible for training allowances. To qualify for an allowance the learner must provide an F103 form from the Department of Social Protection confirming their entitlement to a qualifying social welfare payment. The individual submitted a F103 form to Kerry ETB on 13th July 2022 which stated that their claim was “pending” and Kerry ETB understands that the outstanding claim is awaiting approval from DSP. A training allowance can only be paid by Kerry ETB once the DSP have confirmed the entitlement with a completed F103 form.
