Rule publication process
Each scheme moves through research, structured encoding, automated testing, independent review and publication. Rule versions retain their effective dates and sources rather than overwriting history.

Match confidence
- Strong potential
- Your answers meet the broad conditions SupportCheck can assess, but an official assessment is still required.
- Possible match
- The support appears relevant, but important eligibility conditions remain to be checked.
- More information needed
- The checker cannot safely narrow the pathway without further details or official advice.
Calculation status
- Indicative estimate
- A deterministic calculator can produce an amount from confirmed information. It remains an estimate, not an official award.
- Conditional illustration
- An amount is shown only to explain what could apply if unresolved conditions are later confirmed. It is not a determined entitlement.
- Official decision required
- The rule depends on evidence, discretion or a statutory assessment that SupportCheck cannot decide.
- Not eligible on the supplied facts
- A confirmed decisive condition is not met. The official body remains responsible for any application decision.
Corrections
If official guidance changes or a possible error is reported, the affected scheme should be reviewed and, where necessary, withdrawn until its rules and tests are updated.
MVP notice: Scheme-level criteria require independent review before the service should be relied upon as comprehensive guidance.
