UPDATE – Electronic Claiming Workbook (ECW)

ECW Version 3.2 contains an updated ‘look-up’ table which has been amended to reflect the most recent Changes in Ownership, along with a new claim form for the MAR Chart service (currently Inverclyde only).

Points to Note:

  • Please complete all sections of the Cover Sheet before entering data into any individual sheet. This will auto-populate relevant fields reducing workload for Contractors.
  • We have introduced drop-down lists across various claims.  This should cut down on input errors and make completion of the ECW easier for Contractors.  Please use these where they are provided.
  • There is no need to claim for attendance at Palliative Care Training events – payments will be made automatically using the attendance sheets from the session.

Please ensure that you are using the most up-to-date Version before submitting your ECW. Claims submitted on previous versions may be returned unpaid. A User Guide can be found here.  If you are in any doubt about how to complete the Workbook, please refer to the User Guide before submitting. Failure to complete properly could result in delay to processing (and payment) of claims.
