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 PADP entitlement is made (PADP regs, Sch 1, Part 3, para 9(5)(a))

Where information used to make a relevant PADP determination was assumed to be correct and is later determined to be incorrect, the case manager should make a determination without application (PADP regs, regs 41 and 42). This determination without application will take effect from the date of the original determination (PADP regs, reg 37(1)(c) and 38(1)(d)).
