Case Transfer
Case transfer is the process of moving an individual’s existing benefit award from the United Kingdom social security system to the new Scottish social security system.
If an individual disagrees with the entitlement determination made when their case is transferred they can request a re-determination. If they remain dissatisfied at the outcome of the re-determination they can submit an appeal to the FtT.
An individual is not entitled to STA if they request a re-determination of the initial determination made when their case was transferred. An application for STA can be made if the client submits an appeal after the determination at re-determination stage has been made. STA is only payable where the value of entitlement at redetermination stage is lower than the value of entitlement at initial determination.
