Regulation 17A Consideration of revision before appealF1F2
This regulation applies in a case where—
the Secretary of State gives a person written notice of a decision; and
that notice includes a statement to the effect that there is a right of appeal to the First-tier Tribunal against the decision only if the Secretary of State has considered an application for a revision of the decision.
In a case to which this regulation applies, a person has a right of appeal under section 20 of the Act against the decision only if the Secretary of State has considered on an application whether to revise the decision under section 16 of the Act.
The notice referred to in paragraph (1) must inform the person of the time limit specified in regulation 17(1) for making an application for a revision.
Where, as the result of paragraph (2), there is no right of appeal against a decision, the Secretary of State may treat any purported appeal as an application for a revision under section 16 of the Act.
In this regulation, “decision” means a decision mentioned in section 20 of the Act (as it has effect apart from section 10 of the Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Act 2000).
