(1) A claim for compensation alleged to be payable under this Act shall be made in writing to the Minister.
(2) The Minister may require a claimant to provide such further information in support of a claim for compensation as is necessary for its determination, and a determination of the claim may be deferred until after such further information has been received by the Minister.
(3) Where the claim for compensation arises from a decision of the Head of the Physical Planning and Development Division and it appears to the Minister that the decision which gave rise to the claim for compensation might properly be withdrawn or modified, the Minister may refer the matter to the Appeals Tribunal for its determination as if the claim for compensation had included an appeal against that decision.
(4) Compensation payable under this Act shall, in default of determination by agreement, be determined by the Appeals Tribunal.
