Child Disability Payment decision making guide
Unnecessary to review
There are circumstances in which a change to the child’s needs is reported but it is not necessary to review the child’s award.
It is unnecessary to review a client’s case if they are both:
- reporting that the child’s needs due to their condition or disability either remained the same or got worse
- already on the highest level of award
Case managers should follow the Operational Guidance on “Unnecessary to Review” if the change of circumstances meets both of the above criteria.
