CCM8020 - Closing the Examination

Overview of Closing the Examination

How you close the examination will depend on whether you are revising the award, whether you are seeking a penalty and whether the claimants have supplied the necessary information.

The outcome of your examination will determine the way in which you close the case and this is described in CCM8060. However, you must also be aware of the following:

• The claimant asks you to take into account their reduced income for the current year - see CCM8030
• The claimant could make a new claim either as a single claimant or as part of a new couple, see CCM8050.
