How to Appeal
After you have made your claim for benefit you will receive a decision notice. If you think we have made a mistake and you think the decision is wrong you can ask to do 3 things:
- Ask us to explain our decision
- If you think the decision is wrong you can ask us to look at it again - this is called a revision
- Ask for an independent tribunal to look at our decision
There are time limits for asking for revisions and for appealing.
If you want us to revise a decision or appeal you must do so within one month of the date of the decision notice.
Please contact us if you want to appeal and we can send you a form. Alternatively you can write to us explaining why you think the decision is wrong. Remember you must do this within one month of the date of the decision notice.
