Jobseeker's Allowance: Northern Ireland
(asked on 6th October 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what the average time taken is to process new claims for jobseeker's allowance in Northern Ireland in the last 12 months.
This question was answered on 12th October 2017
The Department for Work and Pensions has responsibility for Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) and Jobseekers Allowance (JSA) claims in England, Scotland and Wales only. The Department for Communities in Northern Ireland has responsibility for ESA and JSA claims in Northern Ireland, and as this is a devolved matter we do not hold this information.
