CCM10030 - Penalties and Interest: Claimant Penalties

There are five situations that can lead to claimant penalties. These are:-

• incorrect claims
• failure to notify change of circumstances
• incorrect notification of change of circumstances
• supplying incorrect information
• failure to supply information

There are different amounts of penalties for the different situations so each one will be looked at separately in this chapter. In addition to penalties, interest may be charged in certain circumstances. This will be covered at the end of this chapter (see CCM10390 et seq.).
