The caseworker may choose not to retain coverage for the affected period, as he or she decides it is not beneficial to do so, or there are insufficient expenses to meet the new higher, re-calculated Spend Down amount. The caseworker denies the Spend Down period which sets the status to "Denied", they must also select a reason for the denial.
The system automatically undoes the application of the Expenses/Pay-Ins used in the period so they are available for use in a future period. As coverage is not retained, the Spend Down period status is set to "Not Approved", the used amount and available for use amounts on the expenses are updated.
If the period affected is a current period and no applications have been received for a future period, the caseworker must trigger the standard close case function from the product delivery home page.
