The claim of the person concerned to unemployment assistance on 10 March 1983 was allowed at the weekly rate of £16.45 being the appropriate maximum rate in his case of £25.45 less means £9.00. Following a review of his case his means were reduced to nil from 10 March 1983 and his weekly rate of unemployment assistance was increased to the appropriate maximum rate in his case of £25.45. All arrears of the increase due were paid to him on 19 May 1983 and weekly payments of £25.45 will continue to be made as they become due.
