The Person Concerned has requested a backdate of Jobseekers Allowance.

In order to make a decision their Deciding Officer has requested a letter from the customers School/College confirming their finish date. This was requested by email on the 28th of September, after two unanswered phone calls to The Person Concerned. As yet no response has been received.

Once this information is received the backdate request can be progressed.
