Notes:	Refusal to attend a work programme based upon a fear of travelling to the town where it was to be held. Offer to attend elsewhere. The determinative issue in relation to whether good cause for failure to attend existed is as to the genuineness of the fear. The offer to attend elsewhere could be corroborative of that, as could the appellant’s difficulties in attending that town for the FTT hearing, despite that occurring after the decision under appeal.
