Council Tax Revaluation

I had a nasty little letter through the door today. It was from the Valuation Office Agency (an Executive Agency of the Inand Revenue).
It started off by saying that they understand that alterations have been made to my home since CT was introduced in 1993 and asks me to fill in a questionnaire to make sure that the records that they have for my property are accurate as they are digitising their records.
They also state that they are not allowed to review my property's council tax band until the property is sold or there is a revaluation of council tax bandings (April 2007).
I've reread the letter and there is nothing stated in it that says I have to comply with their request by law. I'm going to just keep quiet and not reply unless anyone knows anything different. I don't want to tell them anything that I'm not legally obliged to.
Has anyone else received one of these?
