CCM7580 - Discrepancy Enquiries: Right of Appeal against amendment

The claimant(s) will have the right of appeal against your decision to amend the award (including a decision made following a direction to complete from the Tribunals Service) even if they have already agreed the figures with you. The appeal right does not take effect from the date of your letter, but from the date the formal decision is made by NTC, i.e. when the revised output is issued to the claimant(s). All appeals must be resolved either by:

• agreement between the claimant(s) and yourself under S54 TMA1970, or
• withdrawal of the appeal by the claimant, or
• referral to the Tribunals Service.

You should attempt wherever possible to come to an agreement with the claimant(s) (including them agreeing to withdraw their appeal) rather than referring the appeal to the Tribunals Service (see Compliance Appeals instructions in the NTC Manual for further guidance on Compliance Appeals).
