As part of a review of this case, the person concerned was asked to submit certain documentation in support of her jobseekers allowance claim. The requested documentation was not submitted and her claim was suspended on 17 June 2014, and subsequently closed. The option of appeal does not arise in these circumstances. The claim was reopened on 1 September 2014, following contact from the person concerned and she was given additional time to submit the requested documentation. As the requested documentation was still not submitted her claim was disallowed on 26 September 2014. A disallowance letter issued to the person concerned on that date.
