71 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection if she has studied the decision of the appeals officer in his decision to withdraw jobseeker’s allowance in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare, with particular reference to the evidence adduced at the oral hearing, whereby the actual evidence submitted by the applicant completely refuted the assertions of the investigating officer; if she will now facilitate a full review of the case by a different officer, in view of the fact that an appeals officer decision is final in the absence of new evidence; if her attention has been drawn to the fact that the value of the review assessed in this case was at least seven times the actual value, and that this was conveyed to the appeals officer; if she has satisfied herself that the principles of due process and natural justice have been served; if her attention has been drawn to the consequent hardship caused to the family in this instance; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
