(b)they require further information in order to satisfy themselves about any matter material to the making of the determination of entitlement or (as the case may be) to their consideration of whether they are required to make a determination without receiving an application,]
they may request that the individual provide them with the information within such period as they specify.

(a)the Scottish Ministers are either—
