(1)This section applies to any decision of the Secretary of State under section 8 or 10 above (whether as originally made or as revised under section 9 above) which—
(a)is made on a claim for, or on an award of, a relevant benefit, and does not fall within Schedule 2 to this Act; [F2or]
(b)is made otherwise than on such a claim or award, and falls within Schedule 3 to this Act; F3...
F3(c). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
[F4(2)In the case of a decision to which this section applies, the claimant and such other person as may be prescribed shall have a right to appeal to [F5the First-tier Tribunal], but nothing in this subsection shall confer a right of appeal—
[F6(a)]in relation to a prescribed decision, or a prescribed determination embodied in or necessary to a decision[F7, or
(b)where regulations under subsection (3A) so provide.]]
(3)Regulations under subsection (2) above shall not prescribe any decision or determination that relates to the conditions of entitlement to a relevant benefit for which a claim has been validly made or for which no claim is required.
[F8(3A)Regulations may provide that, in such cases or circumstances as may be prescribed, there is a right of appeal under subsection (2) in relation to a decision only if the Secretary of State has considered whether to revise the decision under section 9.
(3B)The regulations may in particular provide that that condition is met only where—
(a)the consideration by the Secretary of State was on an application,
(b)the Secretary of State considered issues of a specified description, or
(c)the consideration by the Secretary of State satisfied any other condition specified in the regulations.
(3C)The references in subsections (3A) and (3B) to regulations and to the Secretary of State are subject to any enactment under or by virtue of which the functions under this Chapter are transferred to or otherwise made exercisable by a person other than the Secretary of State.]
[F9(3D)In the case of a decision relating to child benefit or guardian’s allowance, the making of any appeal under this section against the decision as originally made must follow the Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs first deciding, on an application made for revision of that decision under section 9, not to revise the decision.]
(4)Where the Secretary of State has determined that any amount is recoverable under or by virtue of section 71[F10, 71ZB, 71ZG, 71ZH,] or 74 of the Administration Act, any person from whom he has determined that it is recoverable shall have the same right of appeal to [F11the First-tier Tribunal] as a claimant.
(5)In any case where—
(a)the Secretary of State has made a decision in relation to a claim under Part V of the Contributions and Benefits Act; and
(b)the entitlement to benefit under that Part of that Act of any person other than the claimant is or may be, under Part VI of Schedule 7 to that Act, affected by that decision,
that other person shall have the same right of appeal to [F12the First-tier Tribunal] as the claimant.
(6)A person with a right of appeal under this section shall be given such notice of a decision to which this section applies and of that right as may be prescribed.
(7)Regulations may—
[F13(a)]make provision as to the manner in which, and the time within which, appeals are to be brought;
[F14(b)provide that, where in accordance with regulations under subsection (3A) there is no right of appeal against a decision, any purported appeal may be treated as an application for revision under section 9.]
(8)In deciding an appeal under this section, [F15the First-tier Tribunal]—
(a)need not consider any issue that is not raised by the appeal; and
(b)shall not take into account any circumstances not obtaining at the time when the decision appealed against was made.
(9)The reference in subsection (1) above to a decision under section 10 above is a reference to a decision superseding any such decision as is mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (1) of that section.
