Eligibility Determination and Benefits Calculation

Change in Circumstances

E05. Change in Circumstances (CIC) - General

After a learner’s income support application has been assessed, their circumstances may change in a way that affects their benefits calculation. Learners can notify the Learner Income Support Office (LISO) of changes by completing and submitting a Change in Circumstances form. Changes can also be triggered as a result of a post-verification review or an audit. New evidence may also be provided by the Training Provider when a learner is a no show for training or withdraws before completion.

When LISO receives a Change in Circumstances form, they create/apply the new evidence in Mobius which results in an automatic reassessment of the learner’s benefits calculation. The reassessment can result in an overpayment, underpayment or no change in the learner’s benefits.

The following outlines the process to enter new evidence when a Change in Circumstances form is submitted by the learner. This process does not include Repayable Benefits (see E06) or Director’s Approval Evidence.
