The person concerned applied for Jobseekers Allowance on the 01/07/2025.

The weekly means in this case were assessed at €179 which is in excess of €153.70, the weekly rate for a person in their circumstances. Means in this case were derived from parental income as the customer is under 25 and living at home.

The disallowance letter was issued on the 17/07/2025.

If the person concerned disagrees with this decision they may send in any supporting facts or evidence to the Department. A Deciding Officer will then review the decision and revert.

It is also open to the person concerned to submit an appeal to the Social Welfare Appeals Office. This can be done through their My Welfare account or by submitting an appeal form. This form (SWAO1) is available from any Intreo Centre or online.

If the person concerned is experiencing financial difficulties they may apply for Supplementary Welfare Allowance through their local Intreo Centre.
