1. Claims can be closed for a number of reasons including the following: claim discontinued by a claimant; claim being ineligible; property changed ownership; claim withdrawn under the WHRS 2006 Act; claim not progressing; claim transferred to another jurisdiction by the Weathertight Homes Tribunal (WHT) or claim terminated by the WHT.
2. Claimants can decide between 'eligibility' or 'full' assessment of the property. After the claim is decided eligible, they can decide to repair first or to resolve the claim and then proceed with repairs.
