The person concerned applied for jobseeker's allowance effective from 4 May 2012. He was requested to provide accounts regarding his self-employment, and a bank statement from March to May 2012. The requested information and documents were received in the local office this week.
The claim is currently with the Social Welfare Inspector for a means assessment. The Inspector will be in contact with the person concerned in relation to his claim. Once the Inspector has finalised the means assessment, the Deciding Officer in the local office will make a decision on his claim.
The person concerned will be notified directly of the decision.
