IHTM07122 - Repayment section: checking a sect 6

The Sect 6 needs to be checked against the details on the file to ensure the correct amount is being repaid and to the correct person.

The Sect 6 is received with the file, if it is not return to the caseworker and request the file. You need to check the following details against the file

• File reference
• Name of deceased
• Payee name and address
• The amount to be repaid
• Interest amount and date

You also need to check that the Sect 6 is signed and stamped with the appropriate repayment stamp. If any of these details are incorrect you need to refer the file back to the caseworker. If the details are correct you can warrant the Sect 6 ready for the repayment to be issued.

The warrant number is an individual consecutive number that is shown on

• The Sect 6
• The Sect 83 (routing slip)
• Warrant book

The warranted Sect 6’s are ready to be despatched to Shipley ( IHTM07123) for issue of the payable order ( IHTM07124). The files should now be returned to the caseworker, ensuring that the Sect 83 is clearly visible and that they have been moved on ALF ( IHTM03291).
