W8-BEN Form - US Tax Rate Issue

in Cutting tax
I am trying to claim some funds owed to me from the USA (I am a resident of the UK.)
As usual, I need to fill out the W8-BEN tax form before the funds are released, something that I have done before.
However, this time they are saying that unless I fill out fully sections 9 and 10 of the form, they will take 30% in tax for the IRS. This is something I don't recall happening before.
I have obviously filled my country of residence as the 'United Kingdom,' in section 9, but left section 10 blank.
Does anyone know what the answer is to section 10? I imagine that it is default answer for individuals from the UK.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Agrinall. Thanks for the reply. I have managed to resolve this matter, and complete the W8-BEN after doing some research to my specific situation. Cheers.0
