PART 2

GIVING OF ASSISTANCE BY SCOTTISH MINISTERS
CHAPTER 3

DETERMINING ENTITLEMENT

Appeal against the Scottish Ministers' determination

Initiating an appeal
47
1
In order to bring an appeal under section 46 against a determination, an individual must submit to the Scottish Ministers the form provided under section 44 or (as the case may be) 45 in relation to the determination.
2
On receiving a form that they provided under section 44 or 45, the Scottish Ministers must send—
a
the form, and
b
the information held by them that they used to make the determination in question,
to the First-tier Tribunal.
3
Having complied with subsection (2), the Scottish Ministers must inform the individual to whom the determination in question relates that they have done so.
4
In this section, references to a form include a copy of a form.
5
For the avoidance of doubt, the form that the Scottish Ministers provide under section 44 or 45 need not be a physical form.
6
Scottish Tribunal Rules providing for the form and manner in which an appeal under section 46 is to be brought may not displace the effect of subsection (1), but this section is otherwise without prejudice to what may be provided under any power to make Scottish Tribunal Rules.
