The cut-off date is posted on the INTERNAL sundry tool which is the screen viewed by Cemex Staff (only) who enter and/or Authorise IHC claims.
Chris is correct, a notice was entered on this part of the application in order that Cemex staff can ensure claims (or as many as possible) are authorised prior to the cut off date.
I always try and post a note on the IHC Forum giving the cut-off date in order that IHCs have an idea of which claims are likely to be paid in the next payment run (ie if IHCs can see a claim they have entered has been authorised prior to cut- off date they know it will be paid and shown on their monthly paid sundries sheet).
I also try and do this a week or so prior to the actual cut-off date but there are times (and this was an instance of this) when circumstances prevent this happening.
