Draft regulations making provision in relation to social security appeals: government response

Changes to Procedural Rules

Changes to the draft rules of procedure for the First-tier Tribunal for Scotland Social Security Chamber and the Upper Tribunal for Scotland

22. The draft rules of procedure appear in the schedule of the procedure Regulations for both Tribunals. The Regulations as consulted upon allowed respondents to answer whichever question they chose to answer rather than requiring them to answer all the questions. Therefore, the issues sets out below are the substantial issues raised by respondents. Each section sets out what was consulted on, the views of the respondents and how those views have been given effect to, either resulting in a change or the reasons for not making a change.
