CCM11060 - End of Year Issues: Second specified date

The S17 notice sent to claimants will include two dates:

• the first specified date, see CCM11045, by which the claimant(s) must make an initial response
• the second specified date by which they must report their actual income if they did not do so at first specified date because they provided an estimated figure.

The second specified date is 31 January.

Although all S17 notices will include the two specified dates, in many cases the claimant(s) will have to do nothing further at the second specified date. They will already have complied fully with the notice by stating their actual income at the first specified date, or at some date in between the two and a final decision will have been made under S18(1).
