Functionality exists to undo the application of all evidence (both Expenses and Pay-Ins), which had been previously specified by the caseworker to be applied towards the current Spend Down period (regardless of whether the evidence has been applied towards Spend Down or not) in a single request. The outstanding Spend Down amount is automatically updated.
The system then automatically updates the evidence, and the evidence items will be available to the caseworker for selection in the appropriate Spend Down periods. The old Spend Down Details record for the period is either superseded or updated depending on the current Spend Down status.
The updated/superseded record shows the standard Spend Down details including the Spend Down amount and the new outstanding amount, but the Applied Expense and Applied Pay-In sections are not populated in the record. Caseworkers must then manually apply evidence again to each of the periods affected.
