Judicial Summary

It is important for the First-tier Tribunal to consider, where there is doubt attaching to the reliability of the HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) figure regarding (historic) income, whether it should direct the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions to require a further figure from HMRC in relation to that tax year and if necessary, adjourning the case to do so.
