CHAPTER 3DETERMINING ENTITLEMENT

Re-determination by the Scottish Ministers

I145Notice where re-determination not made timeously

1

Having failed to make a determination under section 43 of an individual's entitlement to a particular type of assistance within the period allowed for re-determination, the Scottish Ministers must—

a

inform the individual—

i

that the individual's request for a re-determination has not been dealt with within the period allowed, and

ii

that the individual therefore has the right to appeal to the First-tier Tribunal against the determination under section 37 which prompted the request for a re-determination, and

b

provide the individual with a form that the individual can complete and submit to the Scottish Ministers in order to bring an appeal against the determination.

2

The Scottish Ministers must fulfil their duty under subsection (1)(a) in a way that leaves the individual with a record of the information which the individual can show to, or otherwise share with, others.
