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 claimant lodged an Appeal Form with the Health Repayment Scheme Appeals Office on 23 July 2007. An oral hearing with the independent Appeals Officer was arranged for the claimant on 1 November 2007. A second oral hearing was arranged on 19 June 2008. The appeal and oral hearings were supported by a substantial amount of documentation. The appeal continues to be investigated by the Appeals Officer. When the Appeals Officer has made a determination on this appeal he will write to the claimant and will provide the claimant with the reasons for the decision.
