Step 2

On the ‘Maintain Payment Suspension� screen

  • select the appropriate reason in the ‘Suspensions Currently Setâ€� field
  • select ‘Removeâ€�.

If the message ‘The suspension reason you selected cannot be removed manually� displays 

  • the ‘Payment Suspensionâ€� marker can’t be removed manually. It will be removed automatically when the appropriate change has been processed
  • select ‘OKâ€�
  • refer the case to your Technical Advice Line Liaison Officer (TALLO).

If the message ‘The suspension reason you selected cannot be removed manually� doesn’t display, select ‘OK�. The ‘Payment Suspension� marker will have been removed.

If the last payment suspension reason has been removed

  • the message ‘Are you sure you wish to re-instate payments to this applicant?â€� will display
  • select ‘Yesâ€�.

Note: Removing the last or only payment suspension reason prompts re-profiling of the payment schedule. Any payments due to be paid to the customer will be issued immediately.
