An appeal must be received by the relevant agency office with in 1 month of the notice of the decision being SENT to the appellant. The time limit can only be extended in certain circumstances. Hi Andrew,

The rules for appeal time limits are strict and the same for both NRP and PWC.

An appeal must be received by the relevant agency office with in 1 month of the notice of the decision being SENT to the appellant. The time limit can only be extended in certain circumstances.

The former can only appeal within certain time limits, the latter can appeal at any time. Discrimination? Oh, yes - and sometimes they don't even tell you about the decision until you're already out of time to appeal. I think there’s one rule for NRPs and another for PWCs.

I have argued about anything and everything! We are in a similar boat where they refused to go back to 2008 despite the fact that my hubby only earnt £5300 that year and they want £2800 in arrears! We are going to a tribunal (date to be confirmed) because I have pushed as hard as I could to get this sorted. They have lied and cheated both on the phone and now in writing...they maintain they wrote to us confirming the amount due in 2008 but we never got anything. When I paid for a copy of our file throught he Data Protection Unit they had a copy of the letter addressed to my address nine months before I even met my husband! Go figure.... Sorry I'm babbling... fight, go over their heads, ultimately they are just pen pushers on a low wages in a call centre. Do not be intimidated by them. Good Luck! Betty Hi

The £0 assessment was made 4 months after I had set up my business. I had asked them to re-assess my situation in my letter notifying them of my change of circumstances, hence why I assumed the £0 judgement had been made. Surely if I notify them in writing when I left my employer and subsequently have no income I can't be expected to continue to pay the same rate as when I was in a very well paid job?? Do I have a case for an appeal? The first time I found out about any supposed 'arrears' was Wednesday, some 2 years on. Nathan Hi,

Hi Nathan,

Did you notify the agency of changes in your circumstances at the time they happened? – if not, retrospective changes will not be taken into consideration.

By the age of your daughter you should be liable for 15% of your net pay. If you were in employment when they made the assessment it could not have been £0. Regarding change of circumstances, it is your responsibility to tell them, the previous assessment liability continues until you do. I dont understand this.
