Hello Terry,
From my experience of the VRB as a TIP trained VRB Advocate is that if you can't get a claim up under s31(when appealing a primary decision), forget the VRB.
The AAT is a wonderful (points of law) arbitrator, in my view!

Subject: Letters to PM's Office

I had a strong and positive response to the replies to the PM’s Office.

 

A number of people have asked how they could help.

 

To this end I’ll add some detail to one of my web pages.

There seem to be enough willing helpers to enable us to open the issue up very strongly.

 

As quickly as I can I will add to the detail on that web page.

 

We can:

 

  • Write to VRB & AAT chiefs re their lack of independence.
  • Write to politicians asking them to raise the issue with the PM
  • An allied question is whether it is appropriate for Brig Rolfe to remain as Services Commissioner. (He was VRB head for approx 9 years)
  • There are other issues that can be developed from those court records of AAT proceedings.
