Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
These discretionary conditions will be applied on a selective basis if a health board considers that the circumstances of a particular case warrant such application. Those who will be affected by this provision are people for whom unemployment assistance or benefit is the appropriate social welfare payment, but who may have intended to claim supplementary welfare allowance indefinitely as an alternative to complying with the terms for receipt of unemployment assistance or benefit.
