The person concerned claimed unemployment benefit on 4 January 1983. However he has had no insurable employment here but stated that he was insurably employed in England. His claim is therefore being examined under the relevant EEC Regulations. Pending the outcome of his claim to unemployment benefit his entitlement to unemployment assistance is being investigated. In the meantime he has been advised that it is open to him to apply for supplementary welfare allowance to his local community welfare officer.
