Written answers

The person concerned applied for a Diet Supplement on 29/11/2019 and his application was refused on the grounds that Diet Supplement is closed to new applicants since 2014.

He can apply for a payment under the Exceptional Needs Payments Scheme if he has  once off exceptional needs which are not of an unexpected or recurring nature.
