<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>
