Evidence is information supplied by participants which can be used to make an assessment or determination. For example, the date of birth of a person may be used to determine age qualification for a benefit or service.
Evidence can be captured and maintained for a person / prospect person within a number of areas. For example, information a person provides about themselves and their family when applying for financial assistance is captured as evidence and is viewed and maintained within their application case. When this application case is complete, they may be found to be eligible for benefits. At this point in the process, the evidence they provide in the application case is maintained as part of their ongoing integrated case. Evidence for persons can also be viewed and maintained through their person record.
