The Health Repayment Scheme Appeals Office is an independent office established to provide an appeals service to those who wish to appeal the decision of the Scheme Administrator under the Health (Repayment Scheme) Act 2006. The Health Repayment Scheme Appeals Office has advised my Department that they received notification from the Scheme Administrator of the claimant's intention to appeal on 5 February 2008 and an appeal form was sent to the claimant. A completed appeal form was lodged on 21 February 2008 and the appeal is being processed. When the Appeals Officer has made a determination on the appeal he will write to the claimant and will provide the claimant with the reasons for his decision.
