Refuse to accept (a claim) (9)

I believe the answer is:

repudiate

(Other definitions for repudiate that I've seen before include "Refuse to accept" , "Reject as untrue or unjust" , "Refuse to be associated with" , "Make a disclaimer" , "Reject or deny as unfounded" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
