The same approach applies to using supporting information for reviews as apply to the determination of new applications. This includes:

  • using the balance of probabilities throughout
  • establishing good cause where appropriate

See Considering the value of information for guidance on telling the client that they might need to provide new supporting information at the next review within their review period justification.
