Decisions about whether a person is entitled to be credited with earnings or contributions in accordance with regulations made under section 22(5) of SSCBA 1992 or section 22(5) of the SSCB(NI)A 1992, for example:

• autocredits

• approved training credits

are issued by PT Operations North East. Any appeals are prepared by Solictiors Office and Legal Services. Such appeals are heard by the Tribunals Service’s Social Entitlement Chamber in Great Britain and the Appeals Service in Northern Ireland.

The Department for Work and Pensions make decisions about benefit related earnings or contributions credits, for example, entitlement to credits when in receipt of Job Seeker’s Allowance. In Northern Ireland the Social Security Agency makes these decisions.

Guidance about such decisions are not covered by the DANSP.
