Request for interim remedy to maintain $610 Special Diet Allowance dismissed for lack of merit.
The applicant requested an interim remedy to maintain her Special Diet Allowance (SDA) at $610 per month, an amount she had been receiving due to an administrative error.
Following changes to the SDA schedule, she was required to reapply and expected her allowance to be reduced to $144.
The Tribunal applied the test for interim remedies and the principles from the Ball decision regarding SDA discrimination.
Finding that the applicant had not presented evidence of general recognition in the medical community that her condition required the requested diet, the Tribunal concluded the application did not appear to have merit and dismissed the request for an interim remedy.
