Officer lawfully refused to consider the subsequent claim because s140(1) precluded consideration absent a significant change in circumstances (meaning facts on the ground), the joint medical report did not materially change those circumstances as it merely corroborated an account already discredited, and s141(2) permitted reliance on prior adverse credibility findings; accordingly the refusal under s140(3) was lawful and judicial review is dismissed.
