When is the deadline for review decision: standard 8-week period?
The catalogue records a 56 days period from The day on which the request for the review is made. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
In preparation
The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.
Example pending review
A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.
Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 56 days
- Trigger
- The day on which the request for the review is made
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- Regulation 9(1) closes with "or within such longer period as A and the reviewer may agree in writing". Only the applicant can agree an extension; the authority cannot extend unilaterally, and an oral or implied agreement is not enough. Written agreed extensions are routine in practice where further evidence or a response to a minded-to letter is outstanding. A review decision given after the period expires is still a valid decision; the sanction is not nullity but the applicant's right under section 204(1)(b) to appeal against the original decision.
- This is the default period. It covers eligibility, what duty is owed, decisions to end the section 189B(2) relief duty by notice, referral decisions, and all suitability reviews including private rented sector offers and final accommodation or final Part 6 offers. If the period expires with no decision and no written agreed extension, diarise the section 204 appeal at 21 days f
