Are you in the UK?

If so, your nephew can appeal the decision.

My guess as to why his benefits were refused is that he probably mentioned he was living with relatives and, unfortunately, thats a big mistake.

What you might want to do is write up some kind of 'rental agreement' saying he has to pay you X amount each 'month' in rent and have him take that to the JSA, make sure he knows to tell them his benefits need backpaying and he should, in theory at least, hae no problems getting any JSA benefits.
