Yes, you can appeal if your application for the priority housing pass is denied. Based on published council information, after receiving a notice of refusal, you should first request a reconsideration of the decision. If you still disagree with the outcome, you can then proceed to make a formal appeal.
Here’s how the process looks:
| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| 1. Request Reconsideration | Make a written request within one month of the notice. Include reasons for disagreement. |
| 2. Appeal | If still dissatisfied after reconsideration, you can appeal in writing. This must be done within one month of the reconsideration notice. |
For assistance with this process, you can contact the Customer Advice and Support Service. If you'd like to get started with your appeal, check out the relevant information on the Scottish Borders Council website.
