Payment of unemployment assistance in the case of the person concerned was withheld from 9 September 1981, pending the completion of inquiries about his availability for work. In the light of the investigations a deciding officer was satisfied that the person concerned continued to fulfil the statutory conditions for receipt of unemployment assistance and payment was restored. All unemployment assistance due has been paid.
