Comment on this
The claim of the person concerned to unemployment benefit was disallowed by a deciding officer on 25 February 1981 on the grounds that she was no longer available for work. She appealed against the disqualification but an appeals officer upheld the disallowance on 22 April 1981.
The person concerned again claimed unemployment benefit on 19 May 1981 and as she satisfied a deciding officer that she is now available for work, her claim has been allowed with effect from that date.
An order paying all arrears of unempoyment benefit due has issued to her for encashment at her local post office.
