By signing below, I confirm that:
- 1. The information I have provided is true and complete to the best of my knowledge.
- 2. I appoint Evanshaw Ltd as my authorised tax agent for my Home Responsibilities Protection (HRP) and National Insurance (NI) matters, and consent to them contacting HMRC and DWP to request my NI record and DWP pension information and, where appropriate after review, preparing and submitting any necessary HMRC/DWP forms and correspondence on my behalf.
- 3. I understand that, as part of checking whether I have a valid HRP-related claim, Evanshaw may need to request a detailed National Insurance Statement of Account from HMRC for specific tax years relevant to my case. I consent to Evanshaw preparing that National Insurance Statement of Account request in my name and sending it to HMRC on my behalf.
- 4. I understand that Evanshaw works on a No Win No Fee basis. I will only be charged if my claim results in backdated arrears that I actually receive. I understand that any State Pension arrears (and any linked Pension Credit arrears) arising from an HRP correction are paid by DWP directly to me and will not be paid to Evanshaw (or any agent). If I receive arrears, I agree to pay Evanshaw’s success fee within 7 days of receipt. I understand that the success fee is 30% of the arrears I actually receive, plus VAT at 20% on that fee (a total of 36%).
- 6. I have been given the opportunity to review draft versions of the main forms and documents that my digital signature will be applied to via [View Draft Documents], and I understand that I have a 14-day cooling-off period from today to cancel this agreement without paying any fee. I consent to signing electronically and understand that my electronic signature will have the same legal effect as a handwritten signature.
