(1)Subject to the provisions of this section, an appeal shall lie to an appropriate Social Security Commissioner from any decision of the Tribunal under section 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5A of this Act on the ground that the decision was erroneous in point of law.
(2)An appeal shall lie under this section at the instance of the person who appealed to the Tribunal or of the Minister.

(4)Where the Commissioner holds that the decision appealed against was erroneous in point of law, he shall set it aside and—
(a)he shall have power—
(i)to give the decision which he considers the Tribunal should have given, if he can do so without making fresh or further findings of fact; or
(ii)if he considers it expedient, to make such findings and give such decision as he considers appropriate in the light of them;
and
(b)in any other case he shall refer the case to the Tribunal with directions for its determination.
(5)Subject to any direction of the Commissioner, a reference under subsection (3) or (4)(b) above shall be to a differently constituted Tribunal.
(6)No appeal lies under this section without the leave—
(a)of the person who constituted, or was the chairman of, the Tribunal when the decision was given;
(b)of the President or Deputy President of Pensions Appeal Tribunals for the part of the United Kingdom for which the Tribunal was appointed; or

(b)otherwise, a Great Britain Social Security Commissioner.
(10)Where it appears convenient to do so by reason of a subsequent change of residence by the person who appealed to the Tribunal, a Great Britain Social Security Commissioner may direct that an application or appeal to him under this section be transferred to a Northern Ireland Social Security Commissioner; and vice versa.
