Power of attorney to appeal to the district court

If you have received a letter from us informing you that you can appeal to the district court, you can give someone power of attorney to appeal on your behalf. This requires a separate power of attorney.

The person you give the power of attorney to must be specifically named. 

The power of attorney must be submitted to us along with the appeal.
