CCM10245 - Penalties and Interest

S16(3) notice

In a post-award examination S16(3) allows us to call for information or evidence where we believe the award is incorrect.

In most cases where you have not received the additional information or evidence you will still be able to make a S16(1) decision – see CCM10270. This decision carries an appeal right and if an appeal is made the claimant will need to provide the outstanding information if they want the award to be revised. Once you have made a S16 decision to conclude your examination you will still normally be able to open a S19 enquiry at the end of the year if your decision turns out to be incorrect.

If you believe a penalty is appropriate see CCM10280.
