IHTM23072 - Acknowledgements: the acknowledgement slip


The acknowledgement slip serves a dual function

  • to provide the ‘fast-track’ response, or
  • as the formal acknowledgement of receipt in other cases

An electronic version of the acknowledgement slip should be e-mailed to the office mailpoints ( IHTM23118).

The VOA is to complete his initial appraisal ( IHTM23222), and e-mail the slip, within a maximum of 20 working days.

On receipt of the e-mailed acknowledgement slip at the relevant mailpoint, the registry staff print them out and attach them to the file for the caseworkers attention.

The information on the acknowledgement is designed to inform you what action you need to take next, including whether to log the case as an enquiry ( IHTM29012).
