92A: Responses to request

You could also call this:

“This section explains how people must answer when asked for more details about their application.”

When you get a request for more information about your application, you have 15 working days to respond. You can choose to do one of three things:

  1. Give the information they asked for.
  2. Write a note saying you will give the information later.
  3. Write a note saying you won’t give the information.

If you say you’ll give the information later, the people in charge will tell you when you need to give it by. They’ll write you a note with the date.

Even if you don’t respond, or if you say you’ll give the information but don’t, or if you refuse to give the information, the people in charge still have to look at your application. They’ll make their decision based on what they have, as explained in section 104.
