Signing whilst appealing DA decision issues

    Posting this on behalf of my brother who is unable to use a computer.

    My brother was receiving long term JSA and he then decided to apply for DA due to his worsening illnesses. He applied for DA and informed his local SW office who told him to continuing signing whilst waiting.

    He was then refused DA and has appealed. The local office have told him to keep signing. Now he is getting harassed by Tús letters and has been forced to attend an interview. These Tús people don't want to know if he is appealing DA etc as they consider him within their sights as he is signing.

    Now. Is the local office right to allow him to keep signing whilst appealing the DA decision? I has a feeling they have made an error.

    Technically as DA has been refused he is fit for work ect and must comply with the conditions for JSA until the appeal is decided.

    I think a trip to the CWO is in order and would put a stop to any harassment from Tús etc.

    A similar thing happened to me. I was on DA, called for assessment, then DA was stopped. I had to sign on while I appealed. It took 7-8 months and I got the DA again. When I went in monthly to sign on I told them I was appealing and they were fine really with me.

    It would seem you are allowed to sign for JSA whilst appealing medical decisions.
