If you cannot make the request

Sometimes you may not be well enough to tell us that you’re permanently unfit to work yourself. SLC can accept information and evidence from a third party instead, but, we can only communicate directly with the third party if they have Power of Attorney (POA). If there’s no POA we’ll write to a third party ‘care of’ the customer’s address.
