Important dates affecting an assessment
The Incapacity Calculator can be used to calculate a client's incapacity compensation entitlement for a period which spans a number of discrete periods of entitlement at different rates of payment.
It is the responsibility of the Assessor to identify accurately when a new calculation period is required, either because of a universal trigger date or because of a change in the client's circumstances.
As an assistance to Assessors all relevant universal trigger dates between 1 December 1988 and the current release date of the Incapacity Calculator are set out in the Tables below.
