  "text": "(This note is not part of the Rules)\nThese Rules amend the Tribunal Procedure Rules applied by the First-tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal. Apart from minor amendments which maintain the commonality of the drafting, the changes are as follows.\nRule 3 is about the Health, Education and Social Care Chamber (HESC). It simplifies the rules and the Schedule about time limits which apply in HESC cases. Rule 3 also makes textual amendments to take account of the coming into force of the Children and Families (Wales) Measure 2010 (2010 nawm 1). Rule 3(3) provides that a typed signature instead of a handwritten signature is permissible where applications or references are filed by email.\nRule 4 is about the Social Entitlement Chamber. In criminal injuries compensation cases the time limit for a response becomes 42 days.\nRule 6 is about the War Pensions and Armed Forces Compensation Chamber. It extends the time limit for all appeals under the Pensions Appeal Tribunals Act 1943 (c. 39) to 12 months.\nRule 8 is about the Upper Tribunal. Rule 8(2) amends the Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) Rules 2008 (S.I 2008/2698) to take account of appeal rights introduced by the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Contribution to Costs of Special Resolution Regime) Regulations 2010 (S.I 2010/2220). Rule 8(3) gives the Upper Tribunal a discretion to allow a respondent to take part in a permission application for judicial review even if they have not filed an acknowledgement of service.\nA regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared for these Rules as no impact on the public, private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.",
