Supplementary welfare allowance payments were made to the person concerned while he pursued an appeal on the refusal of his jobseekers allowance application. The person concerned failed to attend two oral appeal hearings and his application for supplementary welfare allowance has now been refused. The person concerned can appeal or seek a review of the decision made in relation to his supplementary welfare allowance claim.
