Possible amendments to the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (War Pensions and Armed Forces Compensation Chamber) Rules 2008 to accommodate the introduction of Direct lodgement
The Tribunal Procedure Committee (TPC) is interested in your views as to potential changes to the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (War Pensions and Armed Forces Compensation Chamber) Rules 2008 to accommodate the introduction of Direct lodgement.
This consultation seeks views on a proposal to change the way that appeals to the War Pensions and Armed Forces Compensation Chamber (WPAFCC) are lodged, namely that Notices of Appeal are lodged directly with the Tribunal, which is thereafter responsible for all case management.
The TPC considers the following amendments to the rules to be appropriate to implement direct lodgement. If the Tribunal Rules are not amended, then the implementation of direct lodgement to the WPAFCC cannot be made
Responses to the consultation will be considered by the TPC.
