REPAY UNDER DE MINIMIS LIMIT?This field will only appear if you are dealing with an instalment claim where the amount repayable is under £50.
  • Enter Y if you wish to make the repayment (this should be in all cases from April 2008).
  • Enter N if you do not wish to make the repayment. The computer will issue an R37 to the claimant which will show the computation and advise him/her about the de minimis limit (RM4528).

The computer de-minimis repayment limit of £50 only applies to instalment claims. It does not apply to final claims made before 5 April.
 A new administrative rate was applied to instalment claims from 1 April 2005. The de-minimus limit for in year repayment claims was reduced from £50 to £10.

From April 2008 there is no de-minimus limit for instalment claims.

The computer system will however continue to recognise £50 as the de-minimus limit. Where this field is displayed and the repayment is less than £50 you should enter ‘Y’ in this field if you wish to make the repayment.


In a District, if you see the advisory message REPT SUPP CASE - ENSURE PO IS ISSUED BY 5TH DAY OF MONTH , mark the front of the file URGENT SUPPLEMENT.
