Written answers

The person concerned applied for Jobseeker’s Allowance on 26 June 2026.  Additional information was required to verify eligibility for the scheme.  

The completed forms were returned on 9 July 2026.  The Jobseeker’s Allowance application was processed on 14 July 2026 and a decision to award the claim was made.  

A decision letter has issued to the person concerned advising them of their entitlement, payment details and signing arrangements.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
