#### 155 Automatic payment of newstart allowance or youth training allowance if review of section 44 terms decisions sought
When section applies
(1) This section applies to a decision of the Employment Secretary to give a notice under section 44 because of a person’s failure to agree to terms of a Case Management Activity Agreement proposed by the case manager concerned (subparagraph 44(2)(a)(iii)).
Effect on payments
(2) If:
(a) a person applies to the Social Security Appeals Tribunal under subsection 153(1) for review of the decision; and
(b) the person makes the application within 14 days after being notified of the decision;
the following provisions have effect:
(c) payment of newstart allowance or youth training allowance, as the case requires, is to be made pending the determination of the review, as if the Case Management Activity Agreement had not been required;
(d) if payment of the allowance had ceased for a period before the person applied for the review—despite section 660L of the Social Security Act 1991 or section 167 of the Student and Youth Assistance Act 1973, arrears of allowance are payable to the person for the period;
(e) this Act, the Social Security Act 1991 and Part 8 of the Student and Youth Assistance Act 1973 apply as if the Case Management Activity Agreement had not been required.
When payment stops
(3) Subsection (2) ceases to have effect if:
(a) the application for review is withdrawn; or
(b) the review of the decision is determined.
