Dublin claimant’s unemployment benefit appeal
Her claim was disallowed because she was deemed unavailable for work; the first appeal upheld that decision, while a later claim is awaiting an oral hearing.
(Dublin North West) asked the Minister for Social Welfare why unemployment benefit has not been paid from January 1981 to date to a person (details supplied) in Dublin.
Comment on this
The person concerned was not entitled to unemployment benefit from 13 January 1981 to 19 March 1981 as her claim was disallowed by a deciding officer on the grounds that she was not available for work. She appealed against the disallowance but an appeals officer upheld the disqualification of her claim.
The person concerned again claimed unemployment benefit on 14 April 1981 but her claim was disallowed as the deciding officer was not satisfied that she was available for work. She appealed against the decision and her case has been referred to an appeals officer for determination.
An oral hearing of her case has been arranged and it will take place shortly. She will be advised of the appeals officer's decision as soon as the outcome is known.
