Power of assessment officer to estimate the resources of the person concerned
15.—(1) Where the Area Director informs the assessment officer that the person concerned requires a certificate as a matter of urgency and the officer is not satisfied that he can make an assessment and communicate it to the Area Director by the time that he is requested so to do, the officer may, on the basis of the information then available to him, make an estimate of the disposable income and disposable capital of the person concerned and of his maximum contribution.
(2) The assessment officer shall communicate any estimate made under paragraph (1) to the Area Director in writing and, until the making of a full assessment, the estimate shall be treated as if it were an assessment and section 17(1) of the Act and regulation 4(2) and (3) above shall have effect as if the disposable income, disposable capital and maximum contribution of the person concerned were of the amounts specified in the estimate.
(3) In any case in which the assessment officer makes an estimate under paragraph (1) he shall, upon receiving such additional information as he may require, make an assessment and shall communicate it to the Area Director in writing and the assessment shall for all purposes take the place of the estimate.
