BPS Form Mail-out

The RPA has announced that pre-populated BPS forms in England will start to be sent out from Monday 13^th April.  As previously stated, these will go out via e-mail (unless the RPA has no e-mail address for the claimant, in which case it will be posted).  Where Agents have been given a ‘submit’ level of permission then it should be the Agent who receives the form.  What happens where more than one person in a firm has this level of permission is not yet clear.

It has not been indicated how long the mail-out process will take.  It is likely to take longer than a week, but it is probable that all BP5 forms should be out by the end of the month.

The RPA has also published some new guidance on how to make a BPS application.  See –  https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/420840/How_do_I_Final_v1_10.pdf
