RM1204 - RA action: New cases

If the allocation officer asks you to set up a new case before you receive a claim form you will be given the information you need.

Take the following action

• allocate a reference from the District record of claims references. The reference must consist of one letter and up to five numbers
• use the first letter of the taxpayer’s surname followed by the next unused number for that letter
• prepare a R133 in the name of the taxpayer if you are told that it is a file case and put the claims reference on it.

The allocation officer will give you a D or CT reference for certain cases (RM1246). Cross reference the D or CT and Claims file covers

• go to RM1500 to set the case up and issue the claim form
