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.
  1. Ask us to explain our decision
  2. If you think the decision is wrong you can ask us to look at it again, this is called a revision
  3. 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 1 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 in explaining why you think the decision is wrong. Remember you must do this within 1 month of the date of the decision notice.
