Full judgment
1. The Appellant lodged a reference using the GRC1 form on 3 October 2025. The reference was incomplete as the Appellant did not include a copy of the decision notice they sought to challenge and it was not clear from the documents provided that the Appellant has a right of appeal to the Tribunal.
2. By Directions and email dated 6 October 2025 the Appellant was required to provide a completed copy of the Pensions – Right to Appeal form within 28 days. The Appellant did not comply with that Direction.
3. By Directions dated 1 December 2025, the Appellant was directed by 17 December 2025 to provide a copy of the Decision Notice that it wished to challenge and a completed copy of the Pensions – Right to Appeal form to the Tribunal.
4. The Appellant was directed to note that failure to comply with this direction could lead to the Tribunal striking out the appeal for failure to comply without further direction.
5. The Appellant failed to comply with the Direction dated 1 December 2025 and accordingly there are grounds to strike out the reference.
