Housego and Secretary, Department of Social Services (Social services second review)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered the cancellation of Ms Housego's Newstart Allowance. The dispute concerned whether the Secretary of the Department of Social Services had correctly determined that Ms Housego was no longer eligible for the allowance.

The Tribunal was required to determine whether the cancellation of Ms Housego's Newstart Allowance was lawful and justified based on the relevant social security legislation and the facts of the case.

The Tribunal affirmed the decision under review, finding that Ms Housego's Newstart Allowance had been correctly cancelled. The specific reasons for this conclusion were not detailed in the provided text, but the outcome indicates the Tribunal was satisfied with the Department's decision.
