Data Sharing Portal - Supporting Information
The Data Sharing Portal – Supporting Information (DSP-SI) project team is responsible for managing the data-sharing mechanisms between Social Security Scotland (SSS) and external stakeholders for Supporting Information (SI) requests. Supporting Information requests enable a Case Manager to gather additional evidence to make an eligibility decision on a benefit application. When an application is received, the Case Manager determines whether to request supporting information from a person identified by the client (for example, a professional involved in their care or support). The Case Manager formulates the relevant questions and creates a Supporting Information request.
