Departmental Review System/DRS
The Departmental Review System (DRS) has been developed to semi-automate department-initiated processes for compliance review exercises and individual examiner-initiated specific review, and to promote a consistent approach to review processing. Some of the main features of the system are:
- streamlined processes for selecting high risk assessments for review and initiating compliance review exercises
- form and letter generation appropriate to the review reason and review stage
- scanning of barcodes on the return of the form to the office, to automatically advance the CMS case stage
- online presentation of compliance exercise details and outcomes
- online historical record of reviews undertaken for each pension assessment and their outcomes
- detailed and high-level reporting on the outcomes of reviews
- improved monitoring and reporting for review processing
Further information about DRS is available on the following intranet page:

A compliance review is a risk-based, department-initiated review based on risk profiling. Risk profiling identifies assessments containing high-risk characteristics such as volatile income and asset items. Examples of risk groups are pensioners who have not had their income and assets reviewed for a number of years or assessments with high-risk property that has not been revalued for many years.
A specific review is an event-based, department-initiated review, based on anticipated or known changes to a pensioner's personal or financial circumstances, likely to impact on the rate of pension.
Examples include:
- earnings review
- review of circumstances following notification of a changed address
- post-bereavement review
The Claims Management System (CMS) is a part of the mainframe computer system. It is used to track Income Support and Veterans' Compensation case processing and may be used to identify:
- the classification type of a case (eg claims and reviews)
- the markout of the person processing the case
- the date the case was received
- current processing stage of the case and case/client activities
- particular attributes of a case, (eg trust review or change of address, CCPS auto payment)
- current case/client activities. This allows for staff who do not have CCPS access to view client case activities (eg VAN Staff)
