	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2017 answer text <p>Advances are time sensitive because an advance payment meets the immediate need of the claimant. So there is no right of appeal to an independent tribunal against a refusal. We have an alternative process which enables a claimant to ask for a decision to be looked at again within the office, at pace.</p><p> </p><p>The most common grounds for a refusal of an advance payment are because the claimant already has available funds, for example: savings, earnings, redundancy payments or support from the claimant or partner’s parents, family or friends. This list is not exhaustive.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 21/11/2017 15:12:08 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds previous answer version 13845 answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
