CCM11315 - End of Year Issues: Claims made retrospectively after 5 April

Claims made after 5 April but claiming to be backdated to a period before 5 April will not be included in the batch issue of S17 notices, because of the timing of their receipt. But you will be able to open an examination into these claims under S14 ( CCM4090 – CCM4130).

If you open a S14 pre-award examination into a retrospective claim, there will not be any interaction with Ss17 / 18. In these cases, you should initially follow the general guidance on working pre-award examinations in CCM5020 - CCM5550 and then follow the guidance on closing examinations in Chapter 8.
