CCM7120 - Discrepancy Examinations: Self-employed Claimant maintains figure reported on claim form is correct

If a self-employed claimant maintains the figure on their claim form is correct, you should write to them explaining that they have already reported to us their income for the relevant year on their Self Assessment (SA) return. You should use TCC18e at CCM21340.

If the claim was made by a couple, you should send a copy of your letter to each member. As soon as possible after you issue your letter you should amend the award details on NTC. Send a report of what the claimant has said about their SA return to the relevant CCRO on the CCRO referral stencil, so that they can take this intelligence into account when considering the return for potential SA enquiry.
