I'm assisting a claimant on a procedural issue.
In this case, the clmt has plainly appealed (in time) against HMRC decisions relating to Tax Credits. To date, HMRC have refused to forward those appeals for a Tribunal Hearing.
My understanding is that the procedural rules for TC appeals are different when compared to HB/CTB (my usual field). I had intended to advise the clmt to approach TTS directly, asking for a Direction to be issued to HMRC requiring them to deal with the appeal. In support of this, I would have cited R(H) 1/07, whilst acknowledging the rules have changed.
What I am looking for is information as to any substantive difference(s) in the TC appeals procedure and for suggestions as to getting the appeal before a Tribunal - legislation and/or legal authorities would be appreciated.
