(Section 46 is the right to appeal to the Tribunal against a determination by Ministers of an individual’s entitlement to assistance under Part 2.) A report under section 87 is also to state whether Ministers think it would be appropriate to change the process for determining entitlement to assistance. Reports under section 87 are to be published and laid before the Scottish Parliament.
