I half agree with Bob - no "application" is required.
However, in my view (& very much depending on the already known circumstances), the LA could make a case that further info is needed from the CLMT. As Penny pointed out, the crux is whether or not the liability is unavoidable (reasonably etc) and it is often only the clmt who will be able to provide the necessary info for that factor.
Obviously, if the LA is happy with the info from the L/L (or any other source for that matter), I agree with Bob that payment should be made if the conditions are known to be satisfied.
