RE: backdating benefit on refugee status
Fri 09-Jul-04 07:15 AM |
A related query. In this type of case, I'm wondering if the right to fully backdated benefits is secured where the date of claim is within the 28 day period, but where that date of claim is established by giving notice of intention to claim and then submitting the form and relevant documents within a month of the notice of intention to claim?
More preceisely, assume the relevant documents are all lodged and accepted outwith the 28 day period, but within one month of notice of intention to claim. I would presume the right to backdating is not affected in this case, and is protected by the notice of intention being within the 28 days. Am I right?
