RM2640 - Issuing a manual payable order: Completion of R37 and R23

When you have completed CL but want to issue the payable order manually you must complete forms R37 and R23. The computer will not issue anything automatically to the claimant. The only thing that will be produced is the hardcopy.

Prepare form R37 by copying the figures from the hardcopy.

Use the table overleaf to help you complete form R23.

For all name and address entries use capital letters. Do not use punctuation except for hyphens in, for example, Stoke-on-Trent. Always enter a post code unless you are unable to trace one. If you make a mistake on either an R37 or R23, prepare a fresh form.
