Child Disability Payment decision making guide

Information received from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)

All information received from the DWP as part of the case transfer process should be assumed to be accurate on the date on which the determination of CDP entitlement is made (CDP regs, Sch 1, Part 3, Para 9(5)(a))

Where information used to make a relevant CDP determination was assumed to be correct and is later determined to be incorrect, the case manager should make a determination without application (CDP regs, reg 33).
