There are outstanding changes not yet made by the legislation.gov.uk editorial team to The Social Security and Child Support (Decisions and Appeals) Regulations 1999. Any changes that have already been made by the team appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.
Changes and effects yet to be applied by the editorial team are only applicable when viewing the latest version or prospective version of legislation.

8.—(1) For the purposes of regulation 7(2) [F1and (9)], a longer period of time may be allowed for the notification of a change of circumstances in so far as it affects the effective date of the change where the conditions specified in the following provisions of this regulation are satisfied.
(2) An application for the purposes of regulation 7(2) [F2or (9)] shall be made by the claimant or a person acting on his behalf.
(3) The application referred to in paragraph (2) shall—
(a)contain particulars of the relevant change of circumstances and the reasons for the failure to notify the change of circumstances on an earlier date; and
[F3(b)be made—
(i)within 13 months of the date the change occurred; or
(ii)in the case of an application for the purposes of regulation 7(9)(b), within 13 months of the date on which the claimant satisfied the conditions of entitlement to the particular rate of benefit.]
(4) An application under this regulation shall not be granted unless the Secretary of State is satisfied [F4or the Board are satisfied] that—
(a)it is reasonable to grant the application;
(b)the change of circumstances notified by the applicant is relevant to the decision which is to be superseded; and
(c)special circumstances are relevant to the application and as a result of those special circumstances it was not practicable for the applicant to notify the change of circumstances within one month of the change occurring.
(5) In determining whether it is reasonable to grant the application, the Secretary of State [F5or the Board] shall have regard to the principle that the greater the amount of time that has elapsed between the date one month after the change of circumstances occurred and the date the application for the purposes of regulation 7(2) [F6or (9)] is made, the more compelling should be the special circumstances on which the application is based.
(6) In determining whether it is reasonable to grant an application, no account shall be taken of the following—
(a)that the applicant or any person acting for him was unaware of, or misunderstood, the law applicable to his case (including ignorance or misunderstanding of the time limits imposed by these Regulations); or
(b)that [F7the Upper Tribunal] or a court has taken a different view of the law from that previously understood and applied.
(7) An application under this regulation which has been refused may not be renewed.
