- updated the assessment process for situations where a sponsor is seeking a higher benefit
- removal of the review process text – sponsors will be advised on the new process
- updated contact information for the department.
A frequently asked questions document on these changes has also been prepared.
The department is currently reviewing the guide, including reviewing the application process and Part B, and welcomes any feedback or comments.
