The Department’s aim is to make the right decision as early as possible in the claim journey. We have made improvements to our decision-making processes to ensure that people get the support they are entitled to as quickly as possible. The new approach ensures Decision Makers have sufficient time to contact claimants and gather relevant additional evidence earlier in the process.
